Upfront: Australian Interactive Media Industry Association (AIMIA)
advises that urgent action is required to ensure the future of
Australian digital and screen industries. Along with representatives
of Australia's film, television and other cultural industries, AIMIA
has been lobbying to stop the Australian government from trading away
its right to intervene to protect Australia's new media industries.

Events: MOOT Records is a newly established, Melbourne based
independent record/cd label. Its first CD release, 'The Surrealestate
Project', is a "collaborative psychotronic journey" by MOOT founders,
Justin Butler and Ceallaigh Norman. The CD will be launched 10 & 12
December in Melbourne, Australia.

Opportunities: The Australasian Computer Music Association seeks
contributions by young and/or emerging composers and sound artists
for a compilation compact disk that will be published in 2004. The
aim of the compact disk is to showcase some of the best emerging
talent from this region, reflect the broad streams of research,
production and performance that inform contemporary sound culture,
and it will be used to promote Australasian sound culture locally and
abroad.

Due to a server restructure at QUT, our Australian host, fineArt
forum will no longer maintain the Australian mirror and apologise for
any inconvenience. fAf will explore the viability of setting up a
mirror in the Asia Pacific as a means of providing faster access in
the region. In the meantime, fAf's sole online incarnation continues
to be available at http://www.fineartforum.org.
