Connectivity

The second series of Connectivity has finished at backspace.

Aside from planning for Series 3, we have also been the lucky recipiants of an A.T.L.A.S. award to construct an on-line Connectivity site, seperate from, but embeded in shinkansen's site.

This will act as a 24/7 research tool, with an emphisis on disscussion and debate, including area's for the further debating of issues, the text's from both Forum's disscussion groups will be included for research and to act as a Hypertext research project, with as many links as possible - send us your link ideas now.

This is only been made possible by participation of the Arts Council of England. A.T.L.A.S. scheme.

This project will explore the changing interface between the body and technology.

For anyone who has not checked it out for a while, lost interest - GO SEE, it is slowly expanding, topics are being added as is process for feedback - your feedback, it is what will make any site come alive - The Human Interaction.

There are over 500 registered supporters of Future Physical.

Areas of particular interest within the theme are 'live presence', 'bio-logic', 'multi choice viewing', 'sense aware ecologies', and creative use of 'sensory enhancing' technologies. We have applications in to fund this project and we are keen to link up with others working with similiar themes. We are currently forging ahead with the addition of new pages of Hot-Links and Topics relevant to the Future Physical aims - so keep checking for new addittions.
