Dear all
Thanks for the list topic and I hope that this beginning will lead to other
areas that Simon has mentioned. It would be interesting to see where
curating art and science curricula fitted into this list.
I am not sure of the categories that Roger mentions in Media art are so
clearly delineated. Media arts evolution have been so closely linked to
social, cultural and scientific influences. Recently I came across a 1984
Art and New Technology residency program here in Australia as part of the
media art scoping study that was calling for artists working with CSIRO
Division of applied Physics.

Simon being one of the recipients demonstrates that inter and trans
disciplinary approaches have been taken overtime. It also demonstrate the
role that media art organisations have on curricula development. The sharing
of curricula like Roger and Victoria's twine and others will assist in
establishing a more sustainable future knowledge pool for artists working in
an interdisciplinary mode.
We need to expand ideas to be inclusive of new paradigms in dealing with the
effects of emerging sciences and their relationship on being human.
