MINDPLAY

A one day conference on digital media theory, culture, practice and play.

20 Jan 2006

Mindplay will focus on our experience of both mindful and playful human-digital relationships, and explore our interaction and engagement with new digital media environments including those
involving mobile and ubiquitous media, new cinema, gameplay, wired spaces, and networked
communities.

We are pleased to announce that registration to Mindplay is now open.

Mindplay will deliver a rich and exciting programme of presentations of practice-led research, posters, academic papers, demonstrations, activities as well as an exhibition of interactive installations. The provisional conference programme listing presenters and titles can now be viewed online at www.mindplay.org.uk/programme.htm
A separate list of interactive installations will be published nearer the time.

We are also pleased to announce that Jon Dovey, Reader in Screen Media at Bristol University will present the opening keynote address. Jon is co-author of a forthcoming book on Game Culture due to be published by the Open University Press in 2006. Dr Charles Kriel will be presenting the closing speech. Charles is the UN WSIS National Expert on Digital Media for the UK. For the last five years, he served as BBC Radio 1's Resident Artist.
