File consists of two copies of the agenda for the workshop, which was held July 2 to July 8, 2002. The program description reads: "2002 marked the eighth year of the BNMI’s Interactive Screen Program. Interactive Screen is an international project development laboratory and networking opportunity for new media creators, technologists, convergent industries, researchers, and companies. Led by an international faculty with the participation of leading creative artists, Interactive Screen combines formal and informal exchanges, a sense of play and intensive work to explore issues in the conceptualizing, writing, design, development, planning, and financing of ideas and projects that explore the potential of interactive content and software.
The goal of Interactive Screen is to stimulate the creation of emotionally powerful, creatively inspired, and economically viable interactive media development in Canada and abroad.
The first part of the 2002 workshop included the three-day symposium, Producing New Media: Money & Law, where participants developed financing and legal strategies for new media creative, software and technology development, production, distribution, and broadcast. The second seven-day component focused on the creation of content for convergent media: wireless and broadband networks, cross-disciplinary visualization, and collaborative environments. As well as formal presentations, participants took part in small projects and games, collaborations, their own project development and one-on-one mentoring sessions. On the final day of the workshop, interactive project ideas were pitched by the participants who received extensive feedback.
In 2002, this program was run in conjunction with Producing New Media: Money & Law."
