AGENDA
Thursday
Session 1:
Thursday 9:-10:30
 Introductions - Report
on Questionnaires
-
Session 2:
Thursday 11-12:30
- Goal:
to articulate by field and
across disciplines the most pressing
needs in the humanities that
networked computing should be able to
meet
Catalyst: Opera
of the Future
& perhaps a dance project
Questions:
What
does "technology" mean in
this context?
In
relation to the way we work, what is
this project getting right?
Where
does this project fail?
What
are the key ways in which this
project is similar to/different from
my own work?
Decision:
What
paradigms (interface between human
beings, information and equipment) of
computing are most useful to us at
the present?
What
paradigms need most immediate
development?
What
hardware developments would be most
helpful?
What
software developments would be most
helpful?
Friday
Session 3:
Friday 2-3:30 & Session : Friday 4-5:30
- Goal:
to outline a number of
practical projects and next steps
that computer scientists will be able
to assist with in answering those
needs
-
- Catalyst:
Performance
in History
-
- Questions:
What is
needed for this project to reach its goals?
What
similar projects can utilize the insights and
methodologies of this effort?
How can I
use this work in my
teaching/performance/research?
What
methodologies of creation are effective or
ineffective?
Decision:
What
specific proposals can be given to NINCH?
What
specific things about computers don't we
understand that we need to?
Given the
current state of technology, what is the
projected life of this project
What
needs to happen to make this project viable
for at least as long as other technologies
(e.g., books)?
Saturday
Session 5:
Saturday 2-3:30 & Session 6: Saturday 4-5:30
- Goal:
to outline the beginnings of a
longer-term research agenda that
humanists and computer scientists can
collaborate on
-
- Catalyst:
Virtual Reality in Performance
(e.g., U.Kansas
projects)
- Questions:
- How
do new technologies change the way we
experience the world?
-
- What
elements remain constant across
technologies?
-
- Are
artists followers or leaders in the use
of technologies?
-
- How
would I like my work to change in the
next 10 years, or how has it changed in
the past 10 years?
-
- Decision:
Where
do I seek/need help most frequently in
new technologies?
-
- What
is the new technology I have used most
successfully in the past 3 years?
-
- What
would I have to give up if I moved to
proposed but not yet realized
technologies?
-
- If I
could work directly with a computer
scientist, what product would I most like
to develop?
