Our spring workshop's purpose is to 1) introduce CWRC to those who are new to it; 2) consult about what kinds of activities CWRC should support; 3) start to develop projects and protocols that are going to be involved at early stages.
The workshop will start the morning of Friday, April 30 and run until noon on Sunday. A preliminary workshop schedule is available here as a pdf.
Our keynote speaker, Dr. Johanna Drucker of UCLA, is a book artist (you can see digital versions at her online project on artists' books), a visual and cultural critic, and a leading and provocative thinker about what computers can and should do for the humanities. She'll be speaking Friday afternoon about her current design work towards a system to support innovative, collaborative scholarship in a networked environment.
Public talk:
Friday, April 30th, 3:30, TELUS Centre 134

This keynote will be followed by the launch in the foyer of Rutherford Library south of an online curated exhibit, The Creative Codex and Its Variants: Canadian Women Artists’ Books", a collaboration between Special Collections and the Can WWR project. The launch will be followed by a reception.
All are welcome. There is no workshop fee, but please email cwrc [the at sign] ualberta.ca by Sunday, April 25 if you plan to attend, providing a line or two about who you are, so that we can plan the refreshments.
