SUMMARY:LineStorm Animation Exploration
DESCRIPTION:Be a worthy contributor to animation\, the world’s newest artform! We’ll review some short\, world-famous animations\, then approach the artform the old-fashioned way\, creating hand-drawn artwork on lightboxes\, scanning it into the computer for looping\, sound-sync and final edit. We’ll use dynamic\, energetic typography to illustrate one or two essential maxims (in ten words or less\, yet to be chosen!)\, then add color and organic line to give them an unforgettable visual boost! Our finished piece\, 2 to 3 minutes long\, will screen at the Made-at-MIT Spectacular in May. Limit: 12. Presented by Pell Osborn\, award-winning animator\, designer\, and teacher.

SUMMARY:Fansubbing
DESCRIPTION:Sean Leonard\, Andrew Deschere \nLearn fansubbing–the process of adding subtitles to Japanese animation. Topics covered: history and development of American fansubbing\, tools and methodology\, global culture and media theories\, legal and ethical debates. Participants will work in teams (“fansub groups”) to subtitle a short animation\, working on translation\, timing\, typesetting\, encoding\, and other development tasks. Previous exposure to Japanese language is recommended but not required. The fansubbing tools that we will be using are built for the Win32 platform.

SUMMARY:AniJam
DESCRIPTION:Be an animator! Rediscover the magic and pep of this delightfully elastic medium. Work with award-winning animator and designer Pell Osborn (“Piano-Forte”\, “Silent E”\, “The Creation”) to build a free-for-all AniJam\, an Animation Jamboree\, in which each participant contributes a freeform sequence to our punchy final two-minute project. We’ll use traditional materials — each animator on a lightbox — then capture our art to the computer for final edit and sync to a pre-recorded track. If all works out\, our magnum opus screens at the MIT Media Spectacle this spring.

SUMMARY:Media in Transition 2: Globalization and Convergence
DESCRIPTION:Media in Transition 2: Globalization and Convergence \nWill globalization reduce or expand the world’s cultural diversity?

These are among the issues to be explored at the Media in Transition 2 international conference on globalization and convergence.

SUMMARY:Race in Digital Space
DESCRIPTION:Race in Digital Space: A National Conference on Race and New Media Technologies \nCyberspace has been represented as a race-blind environment\, yet our everyday encounters with race have consequences–both “inside and outside the box.” Although most discussions of the “digital divide” have tended to erase the numerous contributions of minority artists\, activists\, entrepreneurs\, journalists\, and scholars\, this conference celebrates those accomplishments\, while situating them against the backdrop of the challenges we still must confront in order to insure equal access to information technologies. What cultural and social baggage do we carry into the digital domain? How does the “race” for connectivity\, access\, and linkage relate to other races for visibility and equal opportunity? How are communities tackling political and economic inequalities in order to bridge the “digital divide”? How have minority communities deployed digital tools to comment on digital culture\, to reconfigure the history of racism\, and to claim a more powerful voice in shaping the future? Racism affects all Americans and so we are bringing together speakers of many different races and backgrounds to share their experiences and offer their solutions.

SUMMARY:Computer and Video Games Come of Age Conference
DESCRIPTION:The computer and video game industry has now completed its first quarter century and has become a strong and vibrant force within the American entertainment industry. There is no question that interactive games are a medium which can already celebrate significant accomplishments and social and cultural contributions. The most exciting developments are surely yet to come. \nThe time has come to take an inventory of today’s game industry and envision tomorrow’s technological innovations and creative implications\, not only from industrial and professional perspectives but from research being explored by cultural and media scholars. In much the same way industry leaders and academics worked together to establish a serious national conversation about the aesthetic and cultural importance of cinema in the 20th century\, we believe that academic and industry exchanges can promote the art of digital entertainment media for the 21st century. \nAs a first step\, the Program in Comparative Media Studies and the Communications Forum at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, in cooperation with the Interactive Digital Software Association\, invite you to a national conference to be held in Cambridge\, Massachusetts on Thursday\, 10 February and Friday\, 11 February 2000. Industry insiders and academic researchers will contribute to conversations designed to: \n\nAssess the state of the computer and video game industry;\nEvaluate how the industry has made use of the potentials of digital media;\nDiscuss how it is responding to more diverse consumer tastes and interests;\nSpeculate where games may go as a genre in the next decade.
