Issues around intellectual property are a key concern for digital artists and designers, revealing a range of tensions between the idealism of work entering the public domain and the pragmatics of making a living. On the one hand, there is the principle that creativity and innovation thrives from the sharing of ideas and material in the ‘commons’ and on the other, that laws are necessary to protect individual and collective interests. This symposium will feature new and provocative ideas that challenge existing structures and practices for those working at the intersections of commerce, research and independent production. http://www.i-dat.org/projects/exploitingpotential/
i+DATA exposes the ways in which data is instituted in a variety of contexts, de-fragmenting issues related to the production, control and distribution of digital media across the cultural industries. The i+DATA Exposition seeks to de-fragment practices and digital activities across the public and private sectors that define the cultural industries within the South West region and beyond. Partitioned into a series of seminars, practical workshops, presentations and screenings, the exposition provides a rich environment for focused critical discussion on the future of digital media. http://www.i-dat.org/projects/idata/
22ND JUNE - 22ND JULY 2001. Through digital processes, forms of architecture are changing. The definitions of buildings, spaces and places have all undergone transformation as digital processes alter the way we design, construct, conceive, present and ultimately experience architecture. As architecture transforms its identity and role, it is an appropriate point to reflect upon the methodologies that have emerged in recent times. To document the less tangible, to critique the crazy and explore the subtle. The V01D show provides the public and architects a chance to see unusual and cutting edge forms of digital architectures. From virtual reality systems, 3D fly-throughs across extraordinary landscapes, and what happens when you let children play with VR technology, the show promises to extend our understandings of buildings as new media emerges and transforms our world. Exhibition runs from 22nd June 22nd July 2001. This exhibition coincides with the Royal Institute of British Architects Architecture. http://www.i-dat.org/projects/v01d.pdf
