=== Apologies if you receive more than one copy of this message === CADE2001 DIGITAL CREATIVITY: CROSSING THE BORDER Computers in Art and Design Education Conference Glasgow 9 - 12 April 2001 http://www.gsa.ac.uk/cade Call for participation ------------------------ The CADE Conference which takes place every two years has already become one of the world’s principal forums for digital creativity in Art and Design Education. In recognition and in celebration of the interdisciplinary and international character of digital media, the CADE2001 conference will cross the boundaries that have tended to define digital creativity as a specialist discipline only for experts. Most practitioners and educationists in art and design now acknowledge the wide-ranging impact of digital media, even though they may not yet recognise the character of its potential nor how to engage with it. The 2001 conference will cross into the realm where digital creativity can be recognised as relevant to all. The conference will also cross the borders that isolate art and design from other subjects that value creativity. Subjects such as the performing arts and architecture will therefore be included, and the many connections with science and technology will also be a focus of attention. The conference will additionally cross the border separating higher education from other sectors of education to address the broader issues of how students learn and explore digital creativity. The conference will also seek to cross cultural boundaries too in terms of both internationalism and multi-cultural society. For the first time, this UK based conference will cross the English border into Scotland to take place in Glasgow, one of the world's leading centres of the arts, design and architecture. In addition to enjoying a powerfully stimulating conference, delegates will be able to explore this uniquely exciting city. Glasgow School of Art will host the conference in association with the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama and the facilities of both institutions will be available. There will also be connections with the numerous exhibition and performance spaces, and artist and designer led projects that make Glasgow such a thriving cultural community. Project proposers may therefore envisage a diverse range of venues including galleries, workshops, theatres and other performance spaces, and cinemas.

The inclusiveness of the programme will be reflected at expert, postgraduate student and beginner levels, and with equal focus on creative practice, research, and learning and teaching.
