Javier Candeira: 'El rei de la casa' (the precious child)
'El rei de la casa' is an exhibition and an art videogame installation. The exhibition explores the cultural construction of childhood through history, and is now open at Palau de la Virreina in Barcelona till september 24th.
The videogame is a virtual pinball depicting parents' fears, hopes and tensions regarding their children's relationships with media, particularly videogames and the Internet.

Ross Bencina: notes on the Australasian Computer Music Conference
"... to materialize the immaterial, to articulate the ineffable, to expose the unseen, to share the unknown ..." -- What can this possibly mean? Ross will tell us with his firsthand report from the ACMC, which took place from the 17th to the 21st June (this week!) in Canberra.
