Dear all, I am organizing a panel for the SIGCIS Workshop on Peripherals and Practices in the Living Room. This panel is looking at peripherals for media centres, computers and/or gaming systems that have appeared (sometimes prematurely) and never took hold. Hence they remained virtual until certain socio-cultural conditions and technological infrastructure could support their reappearance in later forms. If you are interested in learning more about this panel and contributing a paper, please email me at brent.strang@stonybrook.edu by June 12. Kind regards, Brent Strang -- Brent Strang Ph.D. candidate, Cultural Studies Stony Brook University, New York www.brentstrang.com
