Dear All, Our aim with the list is to try to connect the numerous people in scotland work with a multitude of art/tech media and approaches. Ideally this could be used on a number of different levels...for discourse, for anouncements of projects and events, plus invitations to participate...as John Butler has just done - great! Chris and I will throw in "subjects" every couple of weeks for discussion in an attempt to get the ball rolling but by all means feel free to add your own. Personally beyond this general sort of aim I do not feel a more structured agenda should be enforced and would prefer that the list could develop (or fizzle out, this could obviously also happen) naturally.
I would therefore say what it is and what material we distribute, discuss etc is up to the list members to get sending and doing. One thing I'd be interested to discuss is the artists/curators forum in dundee. I know there were a few people on the list there. It would be good if nilla could send some more info on, when you get chance about the speakers and the aim of the conference. I left the conference thinking about how little I have worked with curators in the past and the same with many of the artists I know. Makes me think about how important are curators for new media/tech work...what is their role? Again coming back to John's mail about his upcoming project where he says he's not really into curating, more having a new media rally...(I keep picturing scalextric) Anyway, would be good to hear from folk like illie (currently curator in residence at nms) and lindsay about the projects they're curating. I know Lindsay had problems finding some work (like women working with 3D). All for now...must stop babbling, Bev ------------------------------------------------- a m b i t : networking media arts in scotland post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] info: send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and write "info ambit" in the message body -------------------------------------------------
