The RADICAL Project (Research Agendas Developed in Creative Arts Labs), funded by the European Commission within the context of its 5th Framework - Information Society Technologies Programme - kicked off in Paris at the ISEA conference in December 2000. The project team's first agreed task was a selective survey of the field of EU technology tools used by artists, and made by artists for artists. The initial results of that survey will be presented and discussed in a special RADICAL seminar session following the CODE conference at Cambridge. Members of the RADICAL consortium and those interested in collaborating in future are welcome to attend. The venue for the presentation in Cambridge will be confirmed closer to the event; it will take place on the afternoon of Saturday 7 April.
RADICAL will be holding three large events in the months ahead: seminars or labs based in Amsterdam, Angouleme and London, each exploring the practical side of tools creation to meet these community-identified needs. RADICAL will also be collating a set of good practice guidelines for work in this area.
Dr Lizbeth Goodman, [Lizbeth Goodman] Principal Investigator and Director of the Institute for New Media Performance Research at the University of Surrey, will lead the RADICAL panel session, with partners: Andre Ktori (Audiorom, London), Frank Boyd (BBC Future Development, London), Sally Jane Norman (ESI, Angouleme), Kieran O'Hea (DMR/Fujitsu, Dublin), and Marleen Stikker (Society for Old and New Media, Amsterdam). Software in development as part of the RADICAL project will be demonstrated as part of this event including: Keystroke (SONM), PORT and VIP (INMPR).
