ParaSite New Media Symposium October 26, 2007

A one day symposium on new media and its relationship to other arts and disciplines. Is new media "parasitic" upon the strategies of other media or something like a "para-site" for their exploration? How does new media appropriate, absorb, diminish, further, reinvent, or exist side-by-side with the forms that it inherits?

Please contact Brooke Belisle (bbelisle at berkeley dot edu) or Irene Chien (ichien at berkeley dot edu) for more information.

Sponsored by the Berkeley Art Museum, Film Studies, Consortium for the Arts, Townsend Center, and Berkeley Center for New Media.
