I would also like to point out in advance of the ISEA panel on audience experience that there is now another case-study by Lizzie Muller and myself available online. We were invited to do a case-study on David Rokeby's 'Very Nervous System' by the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute Media.Art.Research last fall and the Daniel Langlois Foundation generously offered to host it on their website. http://www.fondation-langlois.org/html/e/page.php?NumPage=2186 Best, Caitlin Jones Executive Director Western Front Society Vancouver, BC www.front.bc.ca On Sat, Aug 7, 2010 at 8:41 AM, Stephen Boyd Davis <[log in to unmask]>wrote: > Anyone interested in these issues may also like to look at the special > issue > of Digital Creativity (Volume 20, Number 3, September 2009) on Creative > Evaluation -- in which Lizzie Miller co-authored a paper.
