fAf_15: 15th Anniversary CD
———————————————

Last month was a monumental fAf month with the release of faf_15,
presenting an historical record of our 15 year history in the field
of art, science and technology communications, featuring news,
articles, reviews, exhibitions and events. This free CD will prove
to be a valuable resource for researchers, artists, writers and
activists in the new media, science and technology fields together
with broadening the audience of fAf into worldwide areas of where low
speed connections are predominant.

The plan is to distribute the cdrom to screen resource centres, arts
and artist groups, new media events and libraries worldwide to
enhance access in those hard to reach areas. If you fall into this
category, email fAf at l2.carroli@qut.edu.au with your name and
postal address.
