>We SAW Video, artengine and  Daimon are presently planning a New Media
>Festival for the fall of 2000 (for  the purpose of the festival, "new media"
>includes work in video and  film).

>The festival, CONVERGENCE, will explore a central theme:  Artists have and
>continue to utilize technologies in order to expand the  boundaries of the
>self. This festival will trace the historical   development of artists' use
>of technology, as well as examine the way digital  media have been
>integrated into art practices, in order to offer new notions  of
>subjectivity. At this point in time, at the threshold of the  new
>millennium, many of the issues which have preoccupied artists over the  past
>two decades are finding new media to be a site of possible  'convergence'
>for these ideas.  New Media enables a position of   intense intimacy or
>anonymity for the user, the result being that our  knowledge of ourselves
>and how we define ourselves as 'human' is being  uniquely challenged as we
>shift from an analog to a digital  culture.
