Dear Colleagues, I am in the process of compiling a list of projects involving the use of digital media, immersive 3D environments, virtual worlds, design/modelling programs, etc. to recreate sculptural and architectural monuments and spaces, or other cultural programs (a virtual exhibition, historical or contemporary, for example). "Digital Karnak" or a Second Life virtual exhibition come to mind as examples. I am not interested in standard image databases. If these projects or the use of new media technologies are incorporated into instructional programs, all the better. The goal of gathering this information is two-fold: (1) to develop a symposium at Duke University showcasing such projects and technologies and discussing the issues emerging around digital arts and humanities (2) to compile essays about these projects for publication. If such projects exist at your institution, please e-mail me OFF-LIST with the relevant contact and/or website information. Thanks, John -- John J.
