From: "Jim S. Thompson" Subject: EVENT: San Francisco - YLEM FORUM: Interactive Art Lives! Organization: Lockheed Missiles & Space Company, Sunnyvale YLEM - Artists Using Science and Technology is hosting a Forum: "Interactive Art Lives!" Wednesday, September 1, 7:30 pm at the Exploratorium McBean Theatre 3601 Lyon St., San Francisco Contact: Nancy Frank 415-626-5742 It's free, all are invited! Come and meet some like-minded Artomata! It's also a free night at the Exploratorium...... How do we involve people in the arts? This is the perpetual lament of arts professionals, who suspect that 90% of the public could care less. This forum celebrates artists who engage the viewer in their personal vision by many means, including Hyper Card and interactive CD technology. Sometimes such projects are deadly serious, but because of their exploratory nature, the person who gets involved finds a fascinating element of fun. Presentations: ABBEY DON - who teaches video and performance at the San Francisco Art Institute (SFAI) will give a premiere showing of her new work. MARK "SPOONMAN" PETRAKIS - of San Francisco's Climate Theater: The Changing Nature of the Collaboration Community. He sees news digital opportunities for artists. SHARON GRACE - an internationally known artist who was previously an MIT fellow. Plus: Interactive art exhibits in the lobby.
