theory and practice in critical contexts. It has nurtured a significant
international community of young and innovative researchers, artists and
scholars in the interdisciplinary field of new media, and has become the
benchmark conference for research and collaborative endeavour in new
media. DAC has always offered a specialised forum that has emphasised the
importance of bringing together leading practitioners for the exchange of
ideas and to develop international professional networks and knowledge
economies. MelbourneDAC:Streaming Wor(l)ds recognises and intends to
continue this role through the papers, panels, and forums it hosts, and
the innovative series of collaborative workshops and events that will be
undertaken by all conference participants. The mission of MelbourneDAC is
to not only exchange ideas and promote new developments in digital arts
and culture but to ensure that all participants develop relevant and
sustainable professional communities.
The first DAC conference was held at the University of Bergen, Norway, in
1998 under the auspices of the Norwegian Research Council. It has since
been hosted by the Georgia Institute of Technology (1999), The University
of Bergen (2000), and Brown University (2001). MelbourneDAC:Streaming
Wor(l)ds is the first time that DAC will be held in the southern
hemisphere and will provide a regional focus within the international DAC
community.
