Dear Friend of CSTB:
I would like to invite you to attend one of two presentations of the findings of the study _Beyond Productivity: Information Technology, Innovation, and Creativity_, published by the Computer Science and Telecommunications Board of the National Academies and sponsored by the Rockefeller Foundation.
_Beyond Productivity_ examines the dynamic intersection of information technology with the world of the arts and design. This intersection has already yielded results of significant cultural and economic value, including innovative architectural and product designs, computer animated films, games and music, interactive art installations, cross-cultural experimentation, and Web-based texts. However, many opportunities for new collaborative ventures remain to be explored.
Leading the discussions will be Professor William J. Mitchell, academic head of Media Arts and Sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (which includes the Media Lab) and Chairman of the study committee that produced Beyond Productivity. He will be joined by members of the study committee, as well as leaders from academia, philanthropy, and the technology and art communities. Each attendee will receive a complimentary copy of _Beyond Productivity_.
