Register at: https://www2.archimuse.com/ichim07/ichim07.registrationForm.html --------------------------------------------------------------- Papers On-line http://www.archimuse.com/ichim07/speakers/index.html Papers to be presented at ICHIM07 in Toronto are now on-line. But conferences aren't about people reading papers. They are about seeing first hand the diversity of work being done, meeting the people doing it, having conversations and asking questions. So plan to join us in Toronto for some stimulating discussions and debates. Come away with new ideas. Opening Keynote: Ian Wilson, Librarian and Archivist of Canada --------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.archimuse.com/ichim07/abstracts/prg_335001615.html Ian Wilson, Librarian and Archivist of Canada, will open ICHIM07 with his thoughts on convergence and content creation in a Web 2.0 world. A pioneer in shaping the united "memory institution" Ian will challenge us to consider what it now means "To hold infinity in the palm of your hand". -------------------------------------------------------------- Closing Plenary: Ranjiit Makkuni on the Eternal Gandhi http://www.archimuse.com/ichim07/abstracts/prg_335001589.html Ranjit Makkuni, of the Sacred World Foundation, India, will speak about the making of the Eternal Gandhi Multimedia Museum. He will present a language of physical interface actions derived from classical symbols of the spinning wheel, turning of the prayer wheels, touching symbolic pillars, the act of hands touching sacred objects, collaboratively constructed quilts, sacred chanting in the collective group, the satsanga and the touching and rotating of prayer beads. These tradition-based interactions inspire a rich panorama of tactile interfaces that allow people to access the multimedia imagery and multidimensional mind of Gandhiji. Eternal Ghandi was a winner of ID Magazine Design Award in 2006. -------------------------------------------------------------- Join Us in Toronto! We hope to see you at ICHIM07 for a celebration of the best in digital culture and heritage.
