JHU and MICA Collaborative Symposium
Techne, the integrated practice of art and science, is the
subject of an upcoming symposium that will bring together
experts from the Maryland Institute College of Art and
Johns Hopkins.
The New Techne symposium, scheduled for April 8 and 9,
seeks to advance opportunities for joint research and
projects between the two institutions in such emergent
fields as biomedical engineering, telematics, hypermedia,
data imaging, intelligent systems, generative art and other
hybrid areas. It also will speak to the collaboration
between the scientist and the artist in the dissemination
of research data critical to scientific and artistic
inquiry. Presentations will showcase current projects of
MICA and JHU faculty, while panel discussions will involve
theoretical discourse around emergent practice based on
general topics related to collaborative practice, research
and teaching.

Interested individuals must pre-register for the April
9 section of the symposium at

Sponsored by the Intel Corporation, the symposium is
presented by MICA and JHU and organized by the MICA Center
for New Media and the JHU Digital Media Center.

Project Clean Stream 2004
As part of Project Clean Stream, the region's largest
coordinated clean-up effort of streams and watersheds,
multiple sites in Wyman Park will be targeted along with 30
sites within the Jones Falls watershed. Project Clean
Stream is sponsored this year by the Alliance for the
Chesapeake Bay in cooperation with area watershed
organizations, Baltimore City DPW, Baltimore County DEPRM
and the Irvine Nature Center.
Last year, more than 80 sites were identified and
cleaned by over 1,200 volunteers; this year, organizers
have identified more than 100 sites and are hoping for even
more volunteer involvement. This year's effort will be held
from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, April 3. All equipment
(gloves, bags and first aid kits) will be provided for
volunteers.
For more information about volunteering, contact Emily
Ellickson-Brown at 410-261-3515 or
