I second Guy Hermann's recent recommendation that list
members look into the upcoming conference, "Technology and
the Rest of Culture: Then and Now" at the New School for Social
Research in New York.

Guy may be unaware that there is, in fact, a web site for the
conference:
<http://www.newschool.edu/whatsnew/techculture.htm>

As part of the conference, the Getty Information Institute will also
be launching a complementary web site on cultural heritage
information technology and policy next week; it will be linked
from the Institute's home page at <http://www.gii.getty.edu>.

I haven't seen notice of the imminent "Technology and the Rest
of Culture" conference in NYC on any of these lists, but it strikes
me as something many of you would be interested in.  Pardon
the cross postings.

Topics include: How have technological innovations changed
the ways in which we know, learn, and communicate? What are
the likely cultural and social consequences of the major
advances in communications technology?
....

Speakers include Robert Adams, Leo Marx, Langdon Winner,
Arno Penzias, Alan Trachtenberg, Marvin Minsky, etc.

There does not appear to be a web site.

Dates: Jan 16-18
Location: 66 West 12th Street, NYC
Info:  212-570-39885
Cost: only $35
Sponsored by the New School for Social Research.
