Talk on Games in Higher Education This Friday (4/7/06)

OIT's series of talks on games in higher education concludes this Friday,
April 7, with Nora Barry from Druid Media, who will be speaking via
videoconferencing on "Descent to the Underworld." "Descent" is a
multi-national collaborative film project that brings together students
via Internet2 and its international partners from Asia, Europe, and South
America to create their own version of the Orpheus myth. The event will be
held from 12:30-1:30 pm in Hodges Auditorium, and is free and open to the
public.

Nora Barry is a creator, producer and curator of networked Internet video
events, web cinema and online digital media art. Barry curated an exhibit,
A History of Web Cinema, for the international show, Future Cinema, at the
Zentrum fuer Kunst und Medientechnologie (ZKM) in Germany, and wrote a
chapter for the book which accompanied the exhibit, "Telling Tales Online:
A History of Web Cinema." She also wrote "Digital Shanachies" for the Ars
Electronica text, "Takeover: Who's Doing the Art of Tomorrow."
