Experience chico.art.net at http:// www.csuchico.edu/art/net The featured works are: 88 Constellations for Wittgenstein (to be played with the Left Hand) by David Clark 88 Constellations for Wittgenstein (to be played with the Left Hand) correlates historical concepts and characters which interconnect with the questions that Ludwig Wittgenstein pondered in his career as a philosopher: logic, language, the nature of thinking, and the limits of knowledge--in relation to our contemporary digital world. Exile Paranoia by Nassrin Nasser Exile Paranoia is a visual expression of the artist's inner feelings surrounding her experience of immigration from Iran into Western culture. Shot in Tehran and London, the film is a powerful example of mood and feeling illustrated through surrealism and metaphor. i made this. you play this. we are enemies. by Jason Nelson "i made this. you play this. we are enemies." is an art game and interactive digital poem built on screen shots from influential community-based websites and portals. Using messy hand drawn elements, strange texts, sounds, and multimedia layering this project invites users to play and exist outside and over the controlling constraints of the world we browse. Landscape Memory #1 by Arthur Tuoto With a conceptual backdrop dealing with memory and the everyday, Landscape Memory #1 marries sound and visual abstraction. This two minute film was shot entirely on mobile phone. The Interactive Book of Changes -- I Ching by Jing Zhou The Interactive Book of Changes -- I Ching translates an ordered universe into a system of parallel symbols--sixty-four hexagrams, which express various human situations. From the Chinese perspective, all phenomenal existence is conditioned by two polarities--Yin and Yang. These represent the dynamic of change. This interactive version of the I Ching brings ancient ideas into a modern venue, rejuvenating an old culture as well as transforming and enriching future ones.

Our challenge is to provide a quality liberal arts education to women from all over South and South-East Asia, the majority of whom would be unable to get an education otherwise. Currently, we have 300 students from 14 countries- a veritable tower of Babel - amd are growing in leaps and bounds. The reason I'm writing is that we need professors! We are starting a Master's program in Computer Science/Information and Communication Technology (CS/ICT) and looking for teachers interested in developing the Undergraduate and Graduate Program (and in living in Bangladesh!). A description of the available posts can be found at our website www.asian-university.org. If you know of anyone who might be interested in coming here, could you please pass the word? The immediate need is for teachers so currently this should not be considered a research position. However, our vision is an integration of pedagogy, applied research and entrepreneurship for both student and teacher alike. I am working to set up a few research programs that respond directly to the regional needs and we are already working with CMU in a joint internship program. Anyone who comes is in a great position to help determine our research direction. Applications from North America are due Jan. 4th (applicants from this region have until the beginning of February). Because this is so soon, I've asked that any applicants from my contacts be considered even if the application is incomplete. So applicants should send in what they have by Jan. 4 and mention my name. Polly K. Pook Associate Professor Asian University for Women 20/A M.M.
