[LINK] Conference in Melbourne - December

[Jan Whitaker]

Linkers,

I don't recall reading about this on link yet, so I thought I'd mention it.


http://lists.myspinach.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fibreculture

an Australian conference on critical issues in Internet culture
   and research, due to take place in Melbourne, 6-8 December, 2001.

"This event will convene a community of critical thinkers engaged with new 
media/Internet theory and practice, with a  view to constructing a 
strategic picture of how Australia might better support innovation, R+D and 
the applications and  culture of new technology. The fibreculture meeting 
will look into four areas: theory, policy, education and the arts and  have 
a public debate to address the issues to a wider audience, co-organised by 
Cinemedia."

Geert Lovink who sometimes posts to link is listed as one of the organisers 
along with others who may or may not be link lurkers!  Geert, are there any 
more details?

I ran across the above when hunting for stuff for George about datacasting 
and broadband.  The Fibreculture group has a discussion list going in 
preparation for that conference in December.
