Hi all, message from Bruce that next Friday's class is cancelled. So no class 2nd October but class as normal the following week 9th October. We'll probably have one extra class tagged on the week after to make up for the missed one. Cheers, Kat

hi Alex,

I think some sort of echo is happening on the discussion for the Sensorama project.

So people. What we going to do?

Welcome to the new look Collaborative Commons, now with a stylish new theme. There is still some work to be done getting the banner image and logo right and I may play with some of the colours, but for now this is it. If you have any ideas about theming this site, feel free to contact me.

This group seems to duplicate the functionality of this entire site, only as a microcosm. Collaborative Commons has blogs, events, forums, social bookmarking and other social media functions for collaboration, promotion and project development.

Would you be interested in managing some of the development and community leadership on the entire Collaborative Commons website? If so, we can talk...

A decision on the Government's internet censorship filter could be just weeks away. It's crunch time for our campaign.

Live trials are nearly complete on the filter technology which will allow the government of the day to add any 'unwanted' site to a secret blacklist. This isn't China, Saudi Arabia or Iran - we could see a mandatory filter of all internet traffic right here in Australia as early as this year.

The pedagogy of the college has for years been one of practice, following the belief that this is absolutely necessary to successfully training artists. Via this model, the VCA has produced some of the most recognized and celebrated artists ever to have been found on Australian shores.

Now, the University of Melbourne, who acquired the VCA in 2007 after the Federal Government decided to cut funding to the college, is planning to implement the Melbourne Model at the VCA in 2011. The Melbourne Model - with parallels to a failing European system - is a model geared towards academic, research-based subjects, a model which is unsuitable for the Victorian College of the Arts. The Melbourne Model, as it stands, can only lead to a dilution of arts training at the VCA. No more dancers, actors, singers, designers, painters, sculptors, stage managers, film makers, musicians and puppeteers; only arts academics.

The Arts Culture in Melbourne, the nation's Arts Capital, hangs in the balance, and we're set on saving it. If you love the Arts, and value its cultural contribution, read on, and join us in SAVING THE VCA. --from http://www.savevca.org/
