<P><FONT face="Courier New">The Biennale of Electronic Arts Perth (BEAP) is
Australia's pre-eminent festival dedicated to showcasing innovative works of art
in the areas of new media, electronic screen, sound and interactive media and is
the largest and most visionary electronic arts event in the region.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Courier New">Through a broad program of exhibitions, conferences
and public talks, BEAP provides a focus for discussion and exploration of the
emergent aesthetic, social and technological implications that surround the
electronic arts, in all its possible forms, whether visual, audio, interactive,
temporal, experiential, digital, 'bio' or 'nano'.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Courier New">The Computers in Art and Design Education (CADE)
conference is a major international event for those interested in the
exploration of ideas at the intersection of pedagogy, arts, design, science, and
technology. The 2007 conference will provide a focus for shared learning,
dialogue and interaction that directly informs professional methodologies and
practice.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Courier New">In 2007 CADE partners with the Biennale for its
first conference outside Europe, creating a new focus for exploring the latest
research and practice within creative arts education at the point where the
'digital' is both a challenge and a strength. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Courier New">Perth, the capital of the state of Western
Australia, has a distinct creative community that celebrates the uniqueness of
Western Australia's stunning bio-diverse environment and combines Indigenous,
European and Southeast Asian cultures.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Courier New">Internationally recognised for its commitment to
research in bio and electronic arts in tertiary education, Perth welcomes
delegates to explore and reflect on global perspectives from a pivotal point
within the Asia-Pacific region.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT face="Courier New">We invite educators, theorists and creative arts
practitioners to meet in Perth, Australia, to explore the paradox of
"Stillness."</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Courier New">"Stillness" is the theme for the 2007 Biennale. The
concept of "stillness" will become an anchor for events in the ceaseless flows
of data and provide a reflective moment for new ideas to emerge and interact,
explode or coalesce, blossom or fade. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Courier New">BEAP will be supporting and encouraging a community
of artists to explore: </FONT><BR>

<P><FONT face="Courier New">CADE will challenge you to confront these conceptual
issues. </FONT></P>
