Bridges was a summit that I co-organized with Sara Diamond of the Banff Centre New Media Institute (now President of Ontario College of Art and Design.) The goal of Bridges was to explore the challenges of working across art, design and science. Bridges II, which was hosted at the Banff Center, also added inter-cultural collaboration to the mix. (Web site by Jody Zellen.) For more, see the paper that Sara and I co-authored with Mark Beam. Pearce, C., Diamond, S. and Beam, M. (2003). “BRIDGES I: interdisciplinary collaboration as practice.” Leonardo 36: 123-8.
