Thanks; I'm blushing. I never thought of this as subject for a
session! Something about pedagogies involving art and technologies?
(I have thought of doing this again, but using our museum
collections). Hm. I do know some other art/digital faculty I could
invite - but then again I invited them last time and they failed to
show :( Anyway, it turns out that I'm going to teach digital media at
UC Berkeley this summer in the Art dept. and maybe ongoing, just part
time, in addition to the museum, so this project really fired up some
energy! Thanks for forwarding it :)

When Art Imitates Art

BERKELEY, California -- Art students at two California universities are
learning that art takes on a life of its own when it's hung on the virtual
gallery walls of the Internet.
Students at the University of California at Berkeley and Sonoma State
University have teamed up for the online art exhibit CU: A
Tele-collaborative Art Inquiry.
Berkeley students are displaying their work on the Internet while Sonoma
State students evaluate and criticize its digital representations on the
Internet. The originals are not digital.
"We are using the Net as our medium instead of print," said Richard
Rinehart, an instructor of art and technology at Sonoma State. "The idea is
that they get them to interpret their own work through another medium."
CU was developed by Rinehart, Kevin Radley, an instructor of new genres in
the UC Berkeley art department, and Tony Le, a Berkeley student who serves
as the project's technical manager...
