Rick, A session on pedagogies involving art and technologies, or for that matter, any academic specialization involving technologies that use museum and/or archival data in interesting or novel ways would certainly interest me. I tried to pull together a session last year on visual anthropology and fell flat on my face, but I still think it would be interesting to go to a session made up of (one or more of) our "audience(s)" and find out what they actually DO with the information we provide.

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!
