The trip to Copenhagen is unfortunately a pretty expensive one for North Americans to attend, and so I’m not sure I’m going to make it; luckily I have a co-presenter with a bigger travel budget who can talk solo if need be. But I really hope I can make it, it looks fascinating!

(do spheres have corners?)
Imagined ones, yes.
I’m looking forward to seeing everyone at DAC! Hopefully you, too, Andrew.

I’ll be there as well, and even presenting — though, because I’ll have my artist hat on, you’ll find me in the PDF version of the program (linked from here) rather than among the paper titles.

Noah, I noticed your “h” was evicerated from the conference listings. At first I concluded that this was a typographical error, but now I wonder if it’s not a conference game: Find Noa’s h.

DAC is a radical conference, Ian – they break with tradition and misspell Noah’s first name.
October 15th, 2005 at 11:20 pm
Sounds like a great event. Wish I could go. I hope you’ll all blog.
October 16th, 2005 at 4:52 am
The event looks very promising and I look forward to seeing those of you that can make it. I hope that you will be able to attend Andrew. There are several people here that I have not seen since the AAAI Symposium on Narrative Intelligence in 1999, so it will be nice to see what you have been working on and catch up.
November 28th, 2005 at 2:26 pm
A number of us are boarding planes in the next few hours, heading to DAC and a day-before workshop on experience design. Hopefully some relatively live blogging will be possible!

Digital Arts and Cultures 2005 recap
It’s the busy time at the end of the semester, which has partly caused a slow-down in news here at WCG. The other cause was the recent Digital Arts and Cultures (DAC) conference. This year’s conference was held in Copenhagen…
