The 2007 programme is on the site, but the full proceedings will be available online soon. In the meantime, I thought I’d share some of my impressions/experience of the event. As a primer for those unfamiliar with the conference series, here is a brief description of the event: The Digital Arts & Culture (DAC) conference was the first conference to attract and present the work of researchers, practitioners and artists working within the field of digital arts, cultures, aesthetics and design. It still attracts papers from a variety of disciplines, and from researchers and artists alike.

Very long story... ;) Um, I will relate more about this project as it develops. I've created a pandorabots.com widget which I've released to yahoo.com's Widget Gallery, found via http://widgets.yahoo.com -- The chat bot widget I've released for use with the Yahoo Widget Engine 3.0 is designed to respond with text as well as speaking the response. The widget works well, save for the inability to parse HTML and I'd assume Javascript elements as well. Other than that, the AIML code seriously needs to be tweaked so as to give it a more unique and less Alicebot-like personality. Fear not though, I will release additional details about the project mentioned in my comment above, as soon as I can. l8r, ChrisJohnson Sorry to take so long getting back to this. Very long story… ;)
