Internal funds have been raised for a variety of research projects using MRI's, the interactive sensor space, the Interactive Multimedia Project Space (IMPS), and the VR space in the Fitzpatrick Photonics Center. The group will also be working on creating gaming environments for the humanities and the digital arts and will be creating installations in the new Arts Warehouse. In conjunction with the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival's curated program in animated documentary, there will also be panels on animation as a social form.

Graduate Student Conference > Thinking Through New Media > June 7-8, 2006 HASTAC, Information Science + Information Studies (ISIS), and the Renaissance Computing Institute (RENCI), a North Carolina consortium dedicated to expansive uses of high-performance computing, are pleased to announce that they will be co-hosting an international graduate student conference dedicated to the interdisciplinary study of new media technologies and their impact on art, culture, science, commerce, society, and the environment. The purpose of the Thinking Through New Media workshop is to build a graduate student community around new media scholarship and to introduce participants to HASTAC, ISIS, and RENCI. Conference organizers have encouraged students from all academic disciplines to submit papers exploring their own research into the study and/or creation of new media technologies.
