sheep with human hordes. Commenting on the relationship between photography,
painting and new media, Loder creates images that are part fact, part fiction.&nbsp;
The Neighbour's House, Bronwyn Coupe&nbsp;
 Objects, events, emotions and daydreams - all equally real - inhabit
the place of childhood. The Neighbour's House is based on the childhood
home of composer Mary Anne Slavich. Coupe invites the audience to participate
in making the work - 'building' the house through sound and video.&nbsp;
After the War, Darran McCrann
 After the war is a collection of photographic images and mutant objects.
The central theme explores a mindscape, post trauma. The photographs depict
strange phenomena that interrupt a solo journey through an unpredictable
environment. At the core of the work are themes of helplessness and hope.
Information Narrative, Joyce Rudinsky
 An interactive digital art project, Information Narrative consists
of three stories collaged from found mass media material: from newspapers,
magazines, radio, television and the Internet. Its various digressions
mimic a sense of the 'information overload' currently affecting Western
society.&nbsp;

For this exhibition Artspace will be transformed into a 'watching and
listening' space, a transition space that leads people from song to song
via multiple projections and monitors of artists singing. Equally, Shangri-La
Collective acknowledges its setting as a comfortable and welcoming one,
not unlike a nightclub with its crooning environment.

into these aspects of nature. Using video, video animation, soundscape
and captured satellite signals, Haines and Hinterding take us into a strange

4. CALL FOR PROPOSALS: "Out of the Box [Net.Art and the 'Real World']"
 Deadline:&nbsp; 1 April 2003
No longer content with pure formalism and self-referentiality, and unwilling
to be dismissed into the simple category of "graphic design", net.art is
redefining itself in the realm of social critique and commentary. The old
elements of hyperlink, the embedded images and sounds, the database and
the live stream all remain in place, as do the digital pranks, parasitic
spoofs and deliberate 'errors' which gave early net.art its timeliness
and humour. Their scope, however, has been refocussed and their use redefined
in recent years to a razor-sharp critique of technological "progress",
globalisation, and the ever-present machinery of surveillance and control
which the internet has helped to usher in.
Impakt will commission two projects for this theme. The accepted commissions
for this project will be invited to produce a hybrid project involving
a website and a live, "real-world" intervention [performance, action, prank,
interface, etc] which will take place during the Impakt Festival this coming
spring, between June 3 and 10. Depending on the submissions we receive,
we may invite the accepted artists to collaborate on a single project.

10. CALL FOR PAPERS: Learning Objects 2003 Symposium: Lessons Learned,
Questions Asked
 Deadline: 20 April 2003
In recent years, there has been an explosion of interest in reusable
multimedia components for learning, referred to as "learning objects."
The use of learning objects promises to increase the effectiveness of learning
by making content more readily available, by reducing the cost and effort
of producing quality content, and by allowing content to be more easily
shared.
However, the development and deployment of learning objects also presents
new challenges to designers of instruction and technology alike. To explore
the benefits and challenges of learning objects, a one-day symposium on
the theme of Learning Objects will be held on June 24, the day prior to
the start of the ED-MEDIA 2003 in Honolulu, Hawaii.&nbsp;
