ABOUT perthDAC
perthDAC is the seventh iteration of Digital Arts and
Culture. DAC was the first conference to attract and
present the work of researchers, practitioners and
artists working across the field of digital arts,
cultures, aesthetics and design.
In September 2007, DAC will be hosted as the key
international conference in the public program of the
Biennale of Electronic Arts Perth (BEAP) in
Perth, Australia. BEAP celebrates and critiques new
and novel technologies (digital, bio, nano, other) by
showcasing artworks made with, or that are about, new
technologies. perthDAC's conference program will be
closely inter-woven with BEAP's exhibitions.
perthDAC's academic programme is being developed with
the close co-operation and support of the fibreculture
forum, who will also be active on the perthDAC
conference steering committee.
