<p class=MsoNormal>A note to all CW’s –<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I had a great time presenting at the UCIRA conference this
weekend -right here in Riverside: I did a much fuller presentation of my
Cyberlilly Seven piece, complete with a dynamic digital interface, the amazing acting
talents of Brian Oglesby, and the technical expertise and creativity of Perry
Hoberman (USC). And I got to meet faculty and students alike from
all the UC campuses – and even a few tentative offers to take my work
elsewhere. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Also, there were several intriguing panels touching on
developments and perspectives that will certainly inform my future work. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Oh - and I got two free nights at the Mission Inn. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>In any case, if you are a first year student, I would suggest
you check out the UCIRA website: there are opportunities for funding –
both institutional and individual - and there will be another conference
next year. I suppose the only disappointing aspect of the conference for
me was there was so little participation from our own campus (even when the
conference was on home territory.) It may seem as if there aren’t
opportunities for ‘writers’ at UCIRA but if you look at past
funding and future opportunities, there are several ways writer-ly involvement.
<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Cheers<o:p></o:p></p>
