Modeling Information in Electronic Space
C: Jonathan Price
E: jprice@swcp.com
T: +1 505 898 4912
Technical communication is pleased to announce a special issue on modeling information in electronic space to be published in February 2001. The guest editor for this special issue is Jonathan Price. Over the last 30 years technical communicators have learned how strongly the two-dimensional layout of text and art affects the accessibility, legibility, and readability of a printed page. Recently, publishing information online has forced many designers to modify layout rules, just as writers have had to retool their style for online delivery.
But the electronic environment demands a new understanding of verbo-visual structure that goes beyond the dimensions of height and width. Now outline topics become options in a menu. Clicking an item, we explore a third dimension-depth. We have also become more sensitive to the dimension of time: how long does it take to traverse an individual web, to bring up a page, to dig down into the details?

International TV turnoff week
W: http://adbusters.org/campaigns/tvturnoff/poster.jpg
Kick Television Today -- Break your television addiction.
Take On The Media Cartel -- ABC, CBS and NBC have refused to sell airtime to advocacy groups. Help free the airwaves for public opinions.
Fight For Infodiversity -- Infodiversity is to the mental environment what biodiversity is to our planet. The more the media conglomerates consolidate their power, the more our diverse voices vanish- if we sit idly by.
Your TV Turnoff resources:
1.1999 TV Turnoff Poster -- Print out a full page version of the poster. Take the liberty of pasting it up at home, in the office, around the neighborhood.
2.Air the TV Uncommercial on your local public access (or commercial) station this year.
Download a QuickTime version of the uncommercial that played on CNN. If you can secure the airtime and the funds (you can get 30-second slots at your local community station for as little as $75 at certain times of the day), we'll supply a broadcast-quality video free of charge.
3.Links to other sites and TV statistics
4.Related sections from Adbusters Magazine.
Deadline for papers: April 30, 2000
Conference: June 7-9, 2000
Second International Conference on Design History: The emergence of Regional Histories
La Habana, Cuba
C: Lucila Fernandez
T: +537 23 07 97
F: +537 23 07 98
E: encuentro6@ondi.cu
Call for papers: The aim of the second Conference is to build on the foundations established at the first: to provide a forum for theory-centred research presentations for scholars and researchers already working at design schools and design research centres. A year ago we were particularly keen to meet colleagues in that field, and now we hope to expand the communication network that came into being at the Barcelona conference. The need to set up a forum to exchange experiences and to stimulate cooperation is as great as ever.
The Emergence of Regional Histories: Today, design history has to face many methodological and theoretical problems, most of which have never been addressed before, due above all to the inevitable differences in approach in different countries and cultures. Moreover, design history itself has to respond to new questions regarding the acknowledgement of its own aims and methods of study. Such a general questions could be shared among researchers of the different local histories.

Vision Plus 8 : "Turning Information into Corporate Knowledge" Innovative Information Management:
A Design Challenge Organised by IIID
V: Wien/Vienna, Austria
C: Peter Simlinger
T: +43 (0)1 4036662,
F: +43 (0)1 4088347,
E: info@iiid.net
V+8 focuses on the aquisition, storage, retrieval and effective updating of information by corporations (commercial, communal, and cultural institutions). Considering knowledge as readily available information relevant to a given task all that matters is the applicability of the information with regard to how to do a task successfully. As tasks change frequently and unforseeably the process of aquiring new and updating old information must be a reiterating one: It requires lifelong learning both of individuals and corporations.
We know something about how individuals turn information into knowledge (this was discussed at Vision Plus 5 in 1998: "Learning Meets Information Design, Information Design Meets Learning"). But how may corporations deal with this issue? The ability to successfully accumulate knowledge in communities is the precondition for both successful administrative and innovative team work.

Eurographics 2000
E: eg2000-info@eg.org
W: http://www.eg.org/eg2000/
As we enter a new Millennium, we are becoming increasingly aware of the global nature of our profession, our industry and our very existence. Advances in telecommunications and computer technology such as the World Wide Web combine to blur and render obsolete at least some of the traditional boundaries of the one world in which we live. Computer graphics and related technologies have key roles to play as we try to understand and harness the opportunities of this new chapter of human history.
It is against this background that the theme chosen for Eurographics 2000 is 'Global Challenges of the Information Society: A Web of Opportunity'. Within this theme, there are three sub-themes: Visualization, Modelling and Collaboration. All present challenges and opportunities for researchers and practitioners in our field.
August 21-23, 2000.

W: http://www.lboro.ac.uk/idater
In the universities, design research is now well established, is widely disseminated, and is valued by the academic community. Research has yet to be valued fully by practising designers. The aim of this IDATER theme is to inform this subject area by the publication of high quality papers dealing with interactions between research in the academy and design practice.
Initial enquiries about the content of papers may be addressed to him at d.durling@staffs.ac.uk though papers and abstracts should be sent direct to the conference organisers.
The deadline for outline paper submissions is 25 February 2000. (If the outline is accepted, a full paper will be required by 7 April 2000).
