Opening Keynote Speakers announced
Posted May 20th, 2008 by Ellen Thompson
The Organising committee is pleased to confirm the opening Keynote Speakers for the Arlis/ANZ 2008 Conference: Cultural Connections: MySpace is an ArtSpace.
Kathryn will be speaking to us about Second Life, and the coming-together of creativity and cyberspace. Her presentations are dynamic, visual and performative. She will challenge us to consider what it might mean for arts information professionals to enable access to information and to provide services to clients at points where the physical and virtual worlds are increasingly blurred.
Axel will be speaking to us from a theoretical perspective on creativity, content creation, and the place of the content user vis a vis the content creator. He will challenge us to re-think our roles as arts information professionals in relation to information access, information organisation, multimedia content and creative outputs.
We are now confirming the closing keynote speakers, finalising the Programme and are processing abstracts in response to the Call for Papers. There is still plenty of time to submit an abstract, so why not be part of this exciting conference!
