Homework:
This is the call for entries for the CYNETart Forum 2001 INTERFACES:
"CYNETart sees itself as a local and at the same time as a global centre of
reflection about the information society and for the formation of its
cultural dimension. We view artistic exploration of the possibilities of
computer- and net-based communication as a field of investigation into
changes in our ways of perception, social relations, exchange relations,
image, product- and marketing strategies, political and scientific research
aims and development of creativity and human potential."
This is www.i3net.org's call for proposals: 'The Disappearing Computer':
"A vision of the future is one in which our everyday world of objects and
places become 'infused' and 'augmented' with information processing. In
this vision, computing, information processing, and computers disappear
into the background, and take on the role more similar to that of
electricity today - an invisible, pervasive medium distributed on or real
world. In contrast, what will appear to people are new artifacts and
augmented places that support and enhance activities in natural, simple and
intuitive ways."
The environment is the interface. The convergence of Turing and Duchamp in
i-land.
