[This posting is forwarded via thanks and courtesy (Spasiba) to
Professor
Irina Aristarkhova. Members are free to contact her at
<uspia at nus.edu.sg>]

Dr. Irina Aristarkhova teaches the pioneering studio-based course,
Cyberarts, in the Programme. She was formerly Senior Lecturer at the
LASALLE-SIA College of the Arts where she taught courses in Cybertheory,
Feminist Theory, Feminist Aesthetics, Technology and Embodiment and
Contemporary Psychoanalytic Theory. She holds an MA from the University
of
Warwick, UK, and PhD from the Institute of Sociology, Russian Academy of
Sciences.

Since July 2001 Irina Aristarkhova has been directing Cyberarts Research
Initiative (http://www.cyberarts.scholars.nus.edu.sg) -an ambitious Art
&
Technology research project, first of its kind in South-East Asia.

Cyberarts/Cyberculture Research Initiative (CCRI) --is a blending of
arts
and technology, Cyberarts is a recent course and research innovation at
the University Scholars Programme at the National University of
Singapore.
The university's Cyberarts Initiative is the first of its kind in the
region and one of the most comprehensive in the world with its Cyberarts
database, Cyberarts resource library, Artist-in-Residence programme,
Virtual Reality Collaboration Research, undergraduate, postgraduate and
postdoctoral programme development in Cyberculture and Cyberarts.

Cyberart and Cyberculture constitute new disciplines that began twenty
years ago in Europe, Japan, and America. The United States Government
recently established an Art and Technology Department. Many other
universities and political bodies around the world have also created
centers for the Cyberarts, New Media Art, and Cyberculture. These
centers
study digital and virtual aesthetics and embody both the creative impact
of new technologies and the meeting place between art and the life
sciences.

For details, please visit the web sites at
<http://www.cyberartsweb.org/>
and <http://www.scholars.nus.edu.sg/faculty/uspia.html>

Please register yourself at:
<http://www.cyberartsweb.scholars.nus.edu.sg/database/join.html> or
<http://www.cyberartsweb.org/database/join.html> And add your articles
to
the database too through another button.

In Southeast Asia, the discipline is in its infancy. It is the goal of
CCRI to encourage regional artists, scientists, and theorists to work in
this field and to showcase their work on an international level. With
that
goal in mind, CCRI attracts some of the greatest artists and theorists
working in the cyberarts scene, and serves as a clearinghouse for
worldwide, but especially Southeast Asian, activities in cyberarts.

Thanks very much!

(Was uns Blumen bedeuten, Gernot Boehme) Blumen sind fuer die Aesthetik
ein Gegenstand von zentraler Bedeutung. Blumen in der Natur, in Garten;
Blumen als Symbole, Blumen als Dekor, wo immer es um Verschoenerung der
Welt geht. Blumen sind dabei.
