The late winter sky above the old city was clear and blue. The plum trees had started to bloom. It was hard to believe that there was a war going on somewhere far away. Because it was the weekend, Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine was packed with tourists. But the Museum of Modern Art, Kamakura, which is on the same property, was almost empty.

The development of complex communication spaces, life environments and economic models is an interplay of technical, social, and artistic forces - Mixed Realities of Art, Science and Technology. The design of a Mixed Reality Architecture, which connects processes in virtual space to the social environments and cultural practices of real places, presents challenges to technologists, scientists and artists alike. In such an architecture the basic design elements are networked structures for new forms of collaborative work and knowledge discovery, human-centred interaction and awareness, media spaces and advanced interfaces. At cast01 scientists will present technologies and infrastructures that address these challenges. Artists will present aesthetic concepts of digital culture and new interactive media formats. cast01 is an invitation for a discussion between artistic practices and the forefront of research and development of information technologies. cast01 is organised by netzspannung.org and by the GMD - German National Research Center for Information Technology. It is supported by the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research (bmb+f) and by the European Commission. http://netzspannung.org/cast01 e-mail: cast01@netzspannung.org Monika Fleischmann / Wolfgang Strauss MARS - Exploratory Media Lab GMD - Institute for Media Communication Schloss Birlinghoven D-53754 Sankt Augustin, Germany OBJECTIVES: On September 21-22, 2001 cast01 will present inspiring media art and innovative research projects from the EU Information Society Technologies programme (IST).

The course will locate art software practice within a history of process-oriented art forms and look at examples of software created by artists. In course activities and art projects students will be encouraged to experiment with a variety of scripting approaches. Section One of this course, ten weeks, will teach scripting with Macromedia Director's Lingo. Subsequent sections will teach other languages including JavaScript, Perl, and more advanced Lingo, within net art and network gaming contexts. Tutorials and scripting exercises will supplement the programming skills employed in art projects. Unit 1. Multimedia, Software, and Art Process Unit 2. Interactivity Unit 3. Scripting Fundamentals Unit 4. Nanopet Pet Project Unit 5. Drawing Tool Project http://www.opensorcery.net/skool/games&art/games&art.html The_Art_of_the_Avid_Gamer The course will investigate various ways that active cultural production by gamers functions as art. The course will begin with creative exercises in game character building and graphical avatar design with attention to identity, gendering and violence. Students will then be introduced to the digital folk art of game add-ons and asked to make artistic interventions in gaming culture. Avid participation in gamer fan culture often serves as a foundation for later game design in the gaming industry. Unit 1. Identity and Role Playing Games Unit 2.
