SWITCH, the new media art journal of the CADRE Laboratory for New Media 
of the School of Art and Design at San Jose State University is pleased 
to announce the launch of SWITCH Issue 20: Transvergence.

The CADRE Laboratory for New Media at San Jose State University is 
proud to be a consortium partner in the ZeroOne Festival: A Global 
Festival of Art on the Edge with other San Jose cultural institutions 
and the host of the ISEA2006 Symposium.  In preparation for this event 
CADRE’s SWITCH Journal has decided to dedicate the issues leading up to 
the conference to address each of the symposiums themes, the first of 
which being “Transvergence”.

While not ever truly pin pointing one set definition of transvergence, 
SWITCH sought out questions and explorations that transcend the 
interdisciplinary and attempt to form a hybrid of cultural experiences. 
  Using Marcus Novak’s "Speciation, Transvergence, Allogenesis: Notes on 
the Production of the Alien" as a spring-board, SWITCH_20 vectored into 
ideas from artists, scientists, futurists, educators, linguists, and 
even the man on the street.

SWITCH_20 features new writings and works by Allucquére Rosanne (Sandy) 
Stone, Steve Dietz, Mark Finnern, Peter Haley, Sally Jane Norman, Nikki 
Stott, Dr. Roula Svorou, and the SWITCH Editorial Team.

ABOUT SWITCH

SWITCH is the new media art journal of the CADRE Laboratory for New 
Media of the School of Art and Design at San Jose State University. It 
has been published on the Web since 1995. We are interested in 
fostering a critical viewpoint on issues and developments in the 
multiple crossovers between art and technology. Our main focus in on 
questioning and analyzing as well as reporting and discussing these new 
art forms as they develop, in hopes of encouraging dialogue and 
possible collaboration with others who are working and considering 
similar issues.  SWITCH aims to critically evaluate developments in art 
and technology in order to contribute to the formation of alternative 
viewpoints with the intention of expanding the arena in which new art 
and technology emerge.

SWITCH_21 plans to pick up with the next of the ISEA themes: 
Interactive City and Community Domain.  Calls for Participation and 
Commissioned Works will be sent out in early fall of 2005.  If you 
would like to contribute or participate in the next issue please
