As the MUSEUMS & THE WEB conference nears (April 22-25, Toronto) and the
deadline for discounted registration (Feb. 28) is only days away, here are
two reminders of conference events: the popular "Best of the Web" contest
for museum web sites (six categories, including "Best Overall," won last
year by San Francisco's Exploratorium <www.exploratorium.org>), and an
innovative online exhibit, "Beyond Interface," for works of art "for which
the Net is both a sufficient and necessary condition of
viewing/experiencing/participating."

Dear MW97 Attendee:
Once again, the 1998 Best of the Web Contest will be held in conjunction
with Museums and the Web <http://www.archimuse.com/mw98/>, the only
international conference devoted to museums' use of the World Wide Web.
Museums and the Web 1998 will take place in Toronto, Ontario, Canada,
April 22-25, 1998. Three full days of conference sessions (April 23-25,
1998) explore issues and controversies, highlight museum applications,
and take an in-depth look at particular uses of the Web at exceptional
museum sites. Pre-conference events include behind-the-scenes visits to
Toronto museums and a series of detailed and hands-on workshops. The
full program is available at the conference web site:
<http://www.archimuse.com/mw98/>.
In 1997, Museums and the Web attracted over 400 participants to Los
Angeles to hear reports and analysis by over 50 speakers from 11
countries. This year, over 600 people are expected to participate in a
more extensive program featuring over 60 speakers from 16 countries.
This conference draws the museum professionals from around the world
responsible for innovative museum web-based projects and programs. The
Best of the Web contest recognises this effort and achievement.
Awards will be made by an international panel of judges, representing
the spectrum of those involved in web site development in museums
including previous winners, students, artists and initiators of
innovative projects. The criteria used for evaluation of the best
museum Web sites will be based on the draft Criteria for Evaluating
Museum Multimedia (see
<http://www.archimuse.com/cidoc/cidoc.mmwg.eval.crit.html>) put together
by the ICOM/CIDOC Multimedia Working Group in Nuremburg in Sept. 1997.
We encourage you to register for the conference (see
<http://www.archimuse.com/mw98/> ) and to return the on-line nomination
form (<http://www.archimuse.com/mw98/frame_best.html>). The winners
will be announced at the opening ceremony in Toronto. Prizes include
free registration at Museums and the Web 99 for the institution judged
Best Overall.
Rewarding innovative projects, whose conception illustrates the
possibilities for future designs on the Web is a the concern for all
involved in museum web projects. Please join me in ensuring that the
Best of the Web is a great venue for this.
If you have any queries do not hesitiate to contact me, Sarah Kenderdine
<sibk@xtra.co.nz>, or the Conference Co-Chairs David Bearman
<dbear@archimuse.com> and Jennifer Trant <jtrant@archimuse.com> of
Archives & Museum Informatics. Thank you and I look forward to
hearing from you.

Call for submissions: "Beyond Interface: net art and Art on the Net"
For many institutions, "art on the net" is putting images of works in
their collections on the Web. For many practitioners, digital media are
a tool that allow the recreation of familiar strategies of traditional
art practices or the Web is little more than another venue, a delivery
mechanism. "Beyond Interface" is an online exhibition of juried and
curated net art projects for which the Net is both a sufficient and
necssary condition of viewing/experiencing/participating.
"Beyond Interface" occurs in conjunction with Museums and the Web: An
International Conference, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, April 22-25, 1998
(http://www.archimuse.com/mw98/). There will be an accompanying online
discussion forum from April 4 to May 10, 1998. See also
