Shifting Ground, Artists Week,
Thursday 9 March, 11am - 7pm
Broadcast via Quicktime 4

Verve at Ngapartji Multimedia Centre hosts the final day of Artists
Week.  The event will present an array of elements that constitute
writing and reading now, a time increasingly mediated by digital
technologies and environments. In keeping with the overall Festival
themes, Shifting Grounds is is an on-the-fly consideration of the
'old' in relation to the new'. This calls to mind Gregory Ulmers
notion of 'electracy', a literacy suitable for a digital age. An
'electrate' culture would be somewhere between oral and literate
cultures. That is, a digital vehicles and modes could afford the
chance to invent methods of exchange between cultures and peoples
that shifts from linear-alphabetic thinking.

The 11am start will begin a great line-up, logon to the broadcast via
Quicktime 4. Session details and logon information at
