Berkeley Big Bang 08 - New Media Symposium _

Date 1st June

Melinda recently spoke at the Berkeley Big Bang 08, three days of new media and art hosted by BAM/PFA and the Berkeley Center for New Media, timed to link with 01SJ: A Global Festival of Art on the Edge, a new media art biennial held on June 4–8 in San Jose.

The Berkeley Big Bang program included a two-day symposium on new media, art, science, and the body in partnership with Berkeley Center for New Media and Leonardo: The International Society for the Arts, Sciences and Technology; a campus media lab demonstration and open house; and an alternate reality game. Berkeley Big Bang presented in tandem with BAM/PFA exhibitions of work by media artists Trevor Paglen, Jim Campbell, Lynn Hershman Leeson, and Scott Snibbe.

The Berkeley Museum filmed the day and will soon podcast it to the world -  Leonardo ISAST will duplicate it on its website. More details on this soon!
