  *CFP: "Beyond Boundaries" International Digital Media and Arts 
Association Conference (9/1/2007; iDMAa Philadelphia, 11/8-10/2007)*









"Beyond Boundaries" --- The push and pull of change in the academic 
environment is the subject of the fifth annual International Digital 
Media and Arts Association (iDMAa) Conference.

It's about connecting --- beyond traditional technologies, beyond 
disciplines, beyond divisions, beyond institutions, and beyond 
geography. In digital media, communications and art we connect beyond 
these boundaries every day. This conference is the opportunity to 
discuss and explore how these connections affect our research, our 
practice, our pedagogy, and our curriculum. What is the significance of 
boundaries in a digital world?

iDMAa (http://www.idmaa.org/) welcomes academics, artists, designers, 
and industry representatives to participate in various conference 
activities. The conference schedule includes: refereed paper 
discussions, topical breakout sessions, a juried exhibition, a program

field. The conference will take place November 8th through 10th in the
