> Advances in interactive computing technology have blurred the line
> between art, social studies and science. The age of digital 
> reproduction
> is making radical changes in how art is created, distributed and
> perceived. Recent work from the humanities and arts has constructively
> critiqued traditional Interaction Design theory and practice. Studies 
> of
> experience with technology can provide new insights into the potential
> of interactivity in contemporary arts and performance, as well as new
> tools for creativity.
>
> This special issue will provide a forum for radically interdisciplinary
> analysis of digital technology. It will focus on the role of technology
> in enhancing culture and creativity. It will seek critical and
> reflective approaches to the design and analysis of interactive
> technology. Contributions will be welcomed from the Arts and Humanities
> as well as the Sciences. Contributions can take the form of academic
> papers but also less traditional creative presentation formats such as
> multimedia, digital artwork and sound.
