"Digial Creativity" is sponsored by "Computers in Art and Design
Education", a UK-based organisation. Sad to relate, there was incredibly
little attention paid to live performance issues (even though everyone
ackowledged the rising dominance of time-based work) - I think I was the
only one to address live performance. There was plenty of discussion about
the coming post-biological era in art, and the fact there we were all dead,
or something....I was accused of being a McLuhan-ite for still believing in
the body and in the use of technology as an extension of the body. And we
all know how outre McLuhan is these days...pardon me.
