:: DAC IN fAf
In August, fAf's TEXT publishes more than 60 papers from the DAC
(Digital Arts and Culture) Conference held in Melbourne in May.
MelbourneDAC +streaming wor(l)ds+ was the first major academic
conference on streaming media, computer games and game culture,
hypertext and interactive film in Australia. It provided a platform
for critical discussion on the implications technological and
creative innovations are having on us as globally networked
communities. MelbourneDAC brought together producers, theorists,
critics, designers, new media artists, educators, filmmakers,
curators, researchers and students who share a passionate interest in
digital arts and culture.

Of the conference and its themes, DAC Chair and RMIT Lecturer, Adrian
Miles said "Art and research though have much in common. Both can be
considered, in idiosyncratic ways, independent creative and critical
activities with their own suspicions, argots, and vernaculars. Both
perform fundamental and crucial roles in teaching and research, but
much more importantly, once we enter the properly digital as a
research and applied field, these differences blur dramatically. This
is the power and the risk of the digital, its blurring of boundaries,
disciplines, and epistemes. It is also its pleasure."
