Mixed Reality: Networking art and technology

Conference on Communication of Art, Science and Technology

 From 21 to 22 September 2001, the Fraunhofer Institute for Media 
Communications will be holding the cast01 // Living in Mixed 
Realities conference at Schloss Birlinghoven, Sankt Augustin. This 
international event will be presided over by the German Federal 
Minister for Education and Research, Edelgard Bulmahn, and is aimed 
at anyone who works at the interface of art, culture, new 
technologies and media science.

Some 250 attendees from the worlds of art, culture, science, 
education, business and politics are expected to attend. The program 
features presentations and discussions on the latest results from the 
field of research, state-of-the-art technologies and cutting-edge 
artistic projects that tackle the subject of Mixed Reality.
See detailed programme: http://netzspannung.org/cast01/program_en.html

There will be Internet broadcast of the cast01 conference using two 
different streaming technologies:
RealMedia streaming, SureStream (56Kbps-250Kbps) for all Internet 
users MPEG-1 multicast streaming (1.5 Mbps) for broadband Internet 
users (PC only), available only in networks which allow multicast 
packets transmission. More info with appropriate streaming links and 
information how to register can be found on the cast01 Website: 
http://netzspannung.org/cast01

The cast01 conference is overshadowed by the attacks in the United 
States which took place on September, 11. Our sympathies go to our 
many colleagues, friends, and family in the US. As a concrete sign of 
our concern, we would like to use the cast conference as a way to 
respond to the events which are now uppermost on many of our minds.

Issues addressed in the cast01 conference such as electronic 
surveillance, the control of space, and local and global 
communication take on a new meaning in the context of a large-scale, 
coordinated attack on civilians with no forewarning. In reaction to 
these terrible events we invited the speakers to consider, where 
appropriate, bringing this perspective into their presentations.

On Sunday, September 23, from 11 - 12.30 h we invite you to join the 
reflections on cast01 in the Auditorium of the Kunstmuseum Bonn. To 
get there see:

The Sunday event will be open to the public. Please send email if you 
like to attend on Sunday: cast01@netzspannung.org

Looking forward to seeing you at cast01!
