    New York City
    Art & Science Collaborations, Inc. (ASCI) is pleased to announce that their
    recent international symposium on collaboration will be "webcast" from
    their website from: December 1 -31, 2001.

    KEYNOTE ADDRESS-
    This was by Joe Davis, artist in residence at M.I.T. with his long-time
    collaborator, Dana Boyd, lecturer and molecular geneticist at the Harvard
    Medical School, Boston.
    Length: 2 hrs. [in four parts]
    SATURDAY" & "SUNDAY -
    Click on each day for separate Program Schedules.
    Clicking on each image icon on the page will link you to Presentation
    Details: art-sci project descriptions, short bios of presenters, and their
    contact information. This will help you decide which presentations you are
    interested in viewing.
    Then click on each small video camera icon to "stream" that specific
    presentation. Mostly 20-minutes in length [some over]
    The images are kind of fuzzy [that depends on the specific speed of your
    Internet connection], but all the sound and ideas are clear.
    Thanks to the generous support of the Rockefeller Foundation and the
    efforts of www.artstream.org, we are able to share the video documentation
    of this unique event. Please forward to your colleagues!
    THE ARTSCI INDEX - We hope that you will participate in the ArtSci INDEX
    [an online "match-making" tool for nurturing collaboration]. The feedback
    forms we've received so far are from a fascinating and diverse range of
    artists, technologists, and scientists. We'd like to see yours :)

    Message forwarded to the list by Steve Bailey. A fascinating development but I share Steve's sentiments - I would recommend looking at the Google site and how the usenet archive is promoted. I have been thinking about the future use and archiving of this list and others in the UK so it provided me with useful food for thought.
