CADE 2001, Glasgow, 9-12 April

The Conference Programme for CADE 2001 (Computers in Art and Design
Education) has now been published.  The Programme is also available
on the CADE web site, with abstracts of the refereed papers,
demonstrations, exhibitions and workshops - www.cade.ac.uk

CADE 2001's theme is "Digital Creativity - Crossing the Border" and an
excellent response to this theme has come from academics, researchers
and practitioners around the world.

Responses to the theme examine and challenge -
- the use of networks to enable creative collaboration
- the nature of creativity in the digital domain
- the new virtual exhibition environment for art
- the revolution in design
- challenging exclusion and celebrating diversity
- the new information landscapes
- learning and teaching
- the new generations of digital creators
- theory and identity
- digital creativity and science
- virtual learning environments for the visual arts

In addition, papers look at the new paradigms and interdisciplinary
potential of digital creativity for specific disciplines:
architecture, dance, fine art, art history, graphic design, music,
printmaking, product design, textiles.

Keynote speakers at CADE 2001 are Professor Diana Laurillard of
the Open University, a leading authority on learning and the new
technologies; Professor Simon Penny of Carnegie Mellon University,
an artist and expert on art and robotics; and Walter Stewart of SGI,
visionary and creator of the Bell Centre for Creative Communications.

Keynote panels are "From Atelier to VLE" chaired by Fariba Farshad
of the London Institute; and "Education and industry: who's failing
whom?" chaired by Stuart Cosgrove of Channel 4.

CADE 2001 will be opened by Wendy Alexander MSP, Minister for
Enterprise and Lifelong Learning in the Scottish Executive.

The event promises to be an exciting roller-coaster through the new
worlds opened up by digitality in art and design education.  I do
hope you will be able to join us for the ride!  For the full programme
please visit the web site: www.cade.ac.uk

The web site includes Online Registration for the conference.  The
standard rate is open for just two more weeks - after 16 February a
late fee applies.  Go for it!

I look forward to welcoming you to Glasgow in April.
