> Software art presses the notion that all the materials of today's 
> society, for example word processors and email clients, are open to 
> critique and analysis and are subject to experimentation. Besides 
> addressing utilitarian tools, software artists also develop 
> astonishing formalist projects using code. If you want to get involved 
> with this important cultural field, consider attending Read_Me 2004 -- 
> a 'Software Art and Cultures Conference' which will be held in late 
> August, 2004 in Aarhus, Denmark. The festival will host seminars and 
> panels so that those researching and practicing in the fields of 
> programming, design and art can share findings. Software enthusiasts 
> and users are also welcome, and all participants are likely to enjoy 
> the city-wide Dorkbot camp that will follow the formal conference. 
> Until March 1, 2004, organizers are accepting abstracts so if you want 
> to present at Read_me, it's time to start working on your script. --
