well they've kept this quite quiet, but here's some info i received the
other day...
digital relations
The Scottish Arts Council (SAC) will be running five networking sessions
between August and December for creative professionals who use digital
and time-based processes in their work.
These will be informal �show and tell� events, with short slots for
everyone to show examples of ongoing work. The reason for the sessions
is to bring practitioners together to see collective snapshots of what�s
going on in the �new media� sector, and pool opinion and experience.
The SAC aims to support a broad range of practice, including visual arts
and theatre, performance, crafts, games and web design, software design
and engineering. Professionals involved in digital art and design
research, small digital businesses, freelance artists, makers and
performers, and theatre professionals are welcome.
Dates: Tuesday 20 August 2002
Tuesday 24 September 2002

Babs McCool will be available at the digital relations sessions to
