Field Trip to Interactive Future 2007

If you are interested in joining in the field trip to the Interactive Futures 2007 conference to be held in Victoria, Canada from November 15-19, 2007, please let the DTC Club President Mark Oliver or faculty member John Barber know. The current DTC Artist in Resident Steve Gibson is the host of the conference.

Here is the link to the conference: http://cfisrv.finearts.uvic.ca/interactivefutures/IF07/.

Students will need to drive themselves since John and I cannot get the university van for the dates of the conference. Several students are going, so you may be able to carpool with them.

The offical conference hotel is the Empress, but inexpensive rooms are available at Paul's Motor Inn. They run between $64 and $79 Canadian Dollars per night. You can save $5.00 a night by booking online and taking advantage of their AAA/CAA discount. Don't choose rack rates; they are really expensive. You can stay up to 4 to a room and save a lot of money that way.

Here is the link to the hotel's website: http://www.paulsmotorinn.com/weblinks.htm

Student and Non-Student passes are available for Interactive Futures '07 at the link below. $50.00 for students for all events passes; $70 for non-students all events passes. Passes are also available for each day and evening session at a set price per period if you don't want to attend everything. You really want the full pass because it gives you entry to all day and night events.

This is a great opportunity for DTC students to connect with media artists from outside the area and to broaden their perspectives about media art.
