//mobility//
+ Giselle Beiguelmann, Wireless Conditions
Giselle Beiguelmann argues that wireless and mobile communication
networks 
make interfaces multiply and fragment the reception on electronic
surfaces 
connected to telecommunication networks. In Beiguelmann's 'post-urban
city,' 
the virtual and real dimensions operating it are products emulated by 
nomadic inhabitants and communication devices, constructing a reading 
context where media are dissolved.

//gaming//
+ Troy Innocent, Reality Play: threads on digital games
Virtual worlds have the innate ability to shift and change, mutate and 
transmutate, and layer multiple modes of representation. Troy Innocent 
discusses 'world making' and 'semiotic morphism' as a model for
translating 
the same data between these different modes of representation.

+ Mia Makela, Metapet: genetic code in the service of the brave new
world
Mia Makela talks to Natalie Bookchin about the process of making Metapet
and 
the audience's reception of the game.

//VR/3D//
+ Jack Ox and David Britton, GridJam
Jack Ox and David Britton discuss the creation process of the GridJam, a

continuation of their immersive music visualization system Virtual Color

Organ. The GridJam was conceived as a performance of 4 geographically 
separated musicians 'jamming' together over the AccessGrid.

+Melinda Rackham, The Dimensional Internet, Web3D -empyre- lab3D
Melinda Rackham gives an overview of the discussions that took place on
the 
-empyre- online forum in conjunction with the shows lab3d (Cornerhouse,
