June 10, 1999. A note from the organizers: DAC '99 has received dozens of
proposals for papers, performances, and installations, from scholars and
artists working in the Americas, Western and Eastern Europe, and along the
Pacific Rim. We're in the process of finalizing the list of keynote
speakers and other invited participants. The conference web site will soon
be expanded to incorporate more detailed information about the conference
and its venues. In short, lots of exciting things are happening.

There is still time to get into the fray. The formal deadline for proposals
for papers or performances is June 15, 1999. We will accept late proposals
until June 30, but will consider them for inclusion in the conference only
as space and time allow. Proposals for media to be included in the
"artists' salon" will be accepted until July 15, 1999.

The original call for papers for DAC '99 follows.

...

Drawing on multiple technical and artistic traditions, many artists and
writers of the late twentieth century are exploring the aesthetic and
discursive possibilities of digital technologies. New collective forms of
cultural production and exchange are evolving from the communication
practices supported by the new media. At the same time, theorists and
critics are investigating the place of new media artifacts in social,
philosophical, and critical contexts.

"Digital Arts and Culture '99" will bring together an international field
of practitioners and scholars engaged in the work of making these
technologies meaningful for contemporary culture. An academic conference
and an artistic exhibition, DAC '99 will represent a unique forum for
celebrating and critiquing the techniques, forms, and aesthetics of new
media.

Scholars and artists working in new media arts, theory, and criticism are
encouraged to submit proposals to present their work at the conference.
Presentations may be in the form of scholarly papers or presentations; or
performance, installations, or sculpture incorporating digital
technologies, interactive or digital video, virtual environments, or
network-based elements. Conference sessions may combine academic
presentations with mediated performances; we encourage proposals which push
the boundaries of the traditional conference paper in form and content.

The conference schedule will include a concurrent "artists' salon" for
demonstrations of networked or CD-ROM based work. Artists unable to
transport their work to Atlanta are encouraged to submit proposals for
artists' statements and demonstrations.
