Call for Participation and Announcement

Digital Arts Histories
A Birds-of-a-Feather meeting
at SIGGRAPH 2003 - 27-31 July 2003, San Diego, USA
Convened by Paul Brown on behalf of the SIGGRAPH Art Show
Tuesday July 29 2003 - 12:00 noon
Digital Animation Room

Check the B-o-F Board at SIGGRAPH for confirmation of time
and location.

This open-call B-o-F meeting is intended to bring together
members of the international community who are interested in
or involved with projects intended to archive, document and
create historical and critical analyses of the use of and
impact of computing & digital electronics in the arts.

An early announcement has generated a significant interest
in this meeting and it is hoped that several major projects
will be able to report briefly on their work.

One intended outcome of this meeting is the formation of a
committee to help plan an international workshop (in 2004)
and conference (in 2005) addressing these and related issues.
Another outcome is a special issue of LEA (Leonardo
Electronic Almanac) devoted to Digital Arts Histories
later in 2003.

The convener - Paul Brown - is Visiting Fellow at Birkbeck,
University of London where he is working on CACHe - Computer
Arts, Contexts, Histories, etc... an AHRB-funded project
investigating the UK history from it's origins to 1980.
