Concerns• Development of specific
software/platforms for Arts applications
• Security
• Intellectual property rights
• Lessons from science use of e-Science
• Real & “Virtual”

Starting Point…
• e-Science as an environment
• Technology or creativity?
• Art as a craft practice
• Interdisciplinary/Collaborative models
• Digital generations
