Warmup – an opportunity to talk about our work. That is yet to be defined. This year the theme is about sociality. We were hoping, looking for “our” understanding, about what the collective has to do in industry. Who better to talk about this than people focused on culture, society and the collective in general?

The program is laid out around 5 parts. The first part this morning about theory with three papers. We intentially opted for a theory section. We go to conference where this is hardly addressed. We’ll have a little lunch break, view posters and Alex Mack has been facilitating that. After lunch we’ll have workshops, hands on experience, get to know each other.

Tomorrow Nina Wakeford is hosting a session on methods with four excellent papers. Finaly tomorrow afternoon Christina Wasson is hosting two sessions on cutting edge material, something we wanted to introduced. Radically cool stuff and new ways of looking at things. Afterwards we’ll have a Town Meeting to look at what we can do going forward. On the EPIC 2005.com website we’ll have a pdf of the proceedings. They will come out in your Christmas stocking. We also have a blog online. Brian Candy and Tina Bassey, if you don’t want to be blogged, tell them. This is a cool event. A first time opportunity and we are pleased to welxome you here.
