OUR CHARTER:

The STANFORD ARTS & TECHNOLOGY INITIATIVE is an interdisciplinary project organized by several faculty to stimulate experimentation among faculty, staff, and students in projects that explore new ways of producing art and experiencing works of art in combination with the development or extension of new technologies. The INITIATIVE holds both long and short term goals:

• The immediate objective of the INITIATIVE is to identify those people in the Stanford community whose current or projected work encompasses the aesthetic and the technological in order to form an actual community with shared interests that can become a base for collaboration.

• Another short term objective is the planning and implementation of a Symposium in the fall of 1995 that would bring artists, scientists, and theorists to the campus in a dynamic demonstration of innovative aesthetic work based on new technologies.

• A long term objective for the INITIATIVE is the establishment of a center that would develop, coordinate and support a wide range of projects committed to the interaction of arts and the technological.

• The ultimate objective of the INITIATIVE is to establish Stanford University as major site for the development of emerging modes of art production and their practical application.
