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
