television and Internet, recently there have been more and more crossover

will have their say. John Wyver, co-founder of Illuminations, is
television, film and multimedia producer and has produced countless
programmes about art and digital media. Sharleen Smith is deputy director
of Oxygen Media where she leads the 'Convergence Lab', a co-operative
venture with cable companies and others to reconnoitre the spectrum of
interactive television. Stuart Nolan is adviser to Oyster Partners and
