WRT: Writer Response Theory

August 28th is the deadline for abstracts for DAC (Digital Arts and Culture) 2007–the premiere international electronic arts conference– held this year in Perth, Austrailia. The conference has been around since 1998 and has established itself as an important annual nexus of researchers and artists of digital works.

Jeremy went last year to represent WRT to present our paper on “Benchmark Fiction.” This year Jeremy and Mark are on the advisory panel. We encourage all of our readers to submit.

Also worth mentioning: This coming year DAC will occur in conjunction with BEAP, the Biennale of Electronic Arts, Perth:

The conference’s four day schedule will include the opportunity to experience all of the BEAP exhibitions, and maximise discussion/networking time. perthDAC delegates will be prioritised for bookings for those “immersive” artworks that have limited number of visitors.

Here’s a link to previous DACs.
