Alberta group looks to boost TV production; Digital Alberta president appointed to advisory council
Septembre 15, 2007

Playback Magazine features a story on the Alberta Film Advisory Council and the new mandate of developing long-term strategies for film, television, and interactive media in Alberta:

"The 16-member AFAC, formerly called the Film Commission Advisory Council, is tasked with guiding Alberta's $165-million film and television industry by developing long-term strategies and advising the provincial government on ways to strengthen the industry.

Damian Petti, president of IATSE Local 212 in Calgary, was appointed new industry co-chair last week, serving alongside Conservative MLA Gary Mar (Calgary-Mackay) for a term of three years. One of their focuses will be to increase TV series production in the province.

"TV series generate more training opportunities and year-round employment. The government sees value in growing the industry through expanding production activity, which seems to be limited to warmer summer months," Petti says, noting business has continued to pick up despite the high loonie.

Petti says the AFAC's "new set of players," including new media specialist (Digital Alberta current president) Ken Bautista, also reflects a concerted effort by the government to capture and exploit the burgeoning interactive market."

The First Summit Meeting of the Planetary Collegium
19-22 April, 2007, Montréal, Canada

Reviewing the Future: Vision, Innovation, Emergence


Network consciousness, telematic interactivity and the media and metaphors of technology and science, have informed the vision of the Collegium since its inception as CAiiA at the University of Wales College, Newport back in 1994. Throughout the subsequent decade, developments in computing, communications, biophysics and cognitive science, hypermedia, telepresence and robotics created challenges in all fields: architecture, performance, dance, narrative, music, as well as the visual arts and design. New discourse was emerging and theory was not to be left behind. In this context, CAiiA-STAR flourished. As the pressure to expand increased, the Planetary Collegium was established, with its CAiiA-Hub in the University of Plymouth, and Nodes in Zurich, Milan and Beijing, with others pending.

This brief outline sets the context of the Planetary Collegium's Summit Meeting of 2007, which will provide the forum for a review of the future. While there will be a celebration of past achievements, the thrust of the Summit Meeting's lectures, workshops, and poster exhibitions will be to strategise individual and collective initiatives that will move our agenda to another level. It is possible to foresee entirely new formations of practice and fields of inquiry growing from the personal and planetary connectivity of the Collegium. Imaginative and informed speculation will welcomed as an essential inspiration to the worlds of the arts, technology and consciousness research. We have always sought to think out of the box, to leap traditional barriers, to extend and re-invent our selves and our practices at every turn. The convergence and mutation of formerly discrete fields of practice will continue.

Our challenge remains: to creatively maintain artistic and ethical integrity at the progressive edge of our various fields, while continuing to prove a vigorous alternative to an art world largely in decline. Developments in the nanofield, biophysics, and quantum computing will undoubtedly inspire new alliances between science and art, to the benefit of both fields. The wisdom of our syncretic approach to research will also lead us to cultures distanced from the prevailing western paradigm. We have much also to offer education. In those many institutions where confusion over the potential of new media arts prevails, we can provide models and methods that will break the roadblocks to creativity. In the time-locked world of galleries and museums, we can revivify the imaginative energy of curators and architects. As always, it will be the deeply human dimensions of technological culture that we shall explore; the values that lie in profound subjectivity, and in experiencing the full spectrum of the sensorium, even into the domains of non-ordinary perception.

The Summit is about agenda building for the art of this century, sharing dreams, identifying emergent practice, and articulating new theory. The Collegium is an international community of artists and scholars working at the highest levels of practice and research that will seek through these public interactions to provide the roadmap to a planetary culture.

October 2003
Can you make money peddling digital content on the Internet? The question was thrown to several dozen experts and business people at a Montreal meeting organized by Quebec-based multimedia association, Alliance Numériqc. October 21, 2003. Basically it is possible, seem to say most participants, but not at any cost. Internet users are willing to fork out that extra dollar for digital content but only for value added services. According to some, digital content presented in web format is not enough to entice consumers to open their wallets but those same consumers would be willing to do so if digital content turn out to be MP3s, rings for cell phones, audio and video documents and software applications. Value- added services introduced by traditional media such as newspapers, we were told by some participants, have led to increased subscription for online news services (example of Le Devoir, a Montreal based paper). What seems to constrain many businesses offering content on the Net are the high costs associated with the production and delivery of such content, especially considering the belief that the Internet was supposed to reduces such financial outlays. Making money through the Internet will entail operational cost reductions, increased advertising revenues, value added services, indirect and copyright revenues.

September 2003
Quebec-based Multimedia association, Alliance Numériqc, should be happy to learn that the newly-appointed Minister of culture and Communications, Line Beauchamp, has agreed to go ahead with the idea of a made in Quebec strategy for the development of interactive digital content. The association has been meeting with Ministry officials for a while to inform them of the industry needs and only lately has the new government clearly indicated its intention to play a close look at this sector. For Alliance President, Suzanne Guèvrement, the Minister’s announcement means recognizing the industry as a fully legitimate economic activity sector. This strategy will follow on the footsteps of a preceding white paper issued by the above-mentioned Ministry on the development and promotion of Quebec cinema and other audiovisual productions. Under the leadership of the previous government, Alliance Numériqc had already participated in a series of public consultations and presented various recommendations and an action plan to improve the production, development, commercialization and distribution of interactive digital content. For more information on this new initiative please see www.numeriqc.ca

Electronic Arts opens a new studio in Montreal.
Electronic Arts (EA), world’s leading publisher of interactive entertainment, has selected Montréal as the site for a new creative studio. This will be the third investment in Canada, the Vancouver based studios having created the popular games FIFA Soccer, NBA Live, SSX, Need for Speed, NBA Street et Def Jam Vendetta
Competing against several north-eastern cities in America, such as New York and Boston, Montreal was preferred for its combination of creativity, technological infrastructures and overall economical conditions, explained Don Mattick, EA Worldwide Studio President. Hence, this choice provides evidence that Montreal is a key hub in Multimedia and Interactive Digital Content (MIDC) creation, as EA joins in with leaders such as Ubi Soft, Strategy First, A2M, Hexacto, Digital Fiction and Microïds.

The Montreal studio, who could hire from 300 to 500 people in five years time, will have the mandate to create new games for different platforms such as Xbox from Microsoft, GameCube from Nintendo, PlayStation from Sony, as well as PC’s.

Alliance Numériqc, FIAM’s member association in Quebec, was closely involved in the preparation of the proposal drawn up jointly with Montreal International, a non-profit private organisation dedicated to the promotion of Metropolitan Montreal.

May 2003
Just as we informed you last month of a study New Media BC had undertaken on the state of the digital media industry in that Canadian province, this association released this month the results of the comprehensive project and the picture is quite ‘promising’. According to Executive Director Jane Green, the objective of the study was to ‘assist in generating continued interest in BC as a centre of new media innovation.’ Key findings conclude that almost one in two companies (46%) expect a growth rate of more than 25% from 2002 to 2003. 82% indicated that their core business involves the development of digital content. Further, 42% responded that their core business involves enabling the creation of digital content, such as providing tools and resources for developing digital content. The majority of businesses (58%) chose lifestyle as an extremely important factor with respect to working and staying in BC. Three quarters of companies plan to export products or services to the US market over the next 18 months and another 54% plan to expand further into the US in that same time period. Over 700 companies were invited to participate in this 2003 study made possible by Western Economic Diversification Canada. For more information, please see http://www.newmediabc.com

Canadian association, New Media BC, is undertaking a comprehensive study of the digital media industry in British Colombia, a project enabled by funding from Canada’s Western Economic Diversification. New Media BC will poll 700 companies and ‘explore growth opportunities in BC's new media industry, with a special emphasis on export activity and expansion into global markets’. The last time a study was conducted, over four years ago, only 200 companies had been identified in the new media industry, a clear indication of the industry’s growth according to Stephen Owen, Secretary of State for Western Economic Diversification: "The digital media industry has grown exponentially worldwide, and this study will assist in planning new initiatives to support the development of this important industry here in BC." As for Jane Green, Executive Director of New Media BC: "We've already seen growth of the industry beyond our expectations… This study provides us with a great opportunity to gather the market intelligence that will continue to generate interest in BC as a centre of new media innovation." This study was announced just as the British Colombia government is setting in place new support for the cultural industries in the form of tax credits. Among the industries affected are new media, book publishing, and film and television. The study results are to be announced this spring. Source: www.newmediabc.com

February 2003
The Game is Not Over! Certainly not according to Quebec-based multimedia association Alliance NumeriQC (www.numeriqc.ca) and consultancy firm SECOR who issued in early February a well-documented study on the interactive gaming industry in the French-speaking province. The industry will do well, at the international level in particular, provided continuous focus on human resources and financial capital. The industry is small but dynamic: 30 companies employing 1000 people are fully dedicated to gaming and annual revenues average 100 million Canadian dollars. Major players include Ubi Soft Canada, A2M, Strategy Fist and Microïds and represent three quarters of annual revenues. The gaming industry in the province is witnessing similar developments as in many other national and regional markets especially with regards to how games are produced and commercialized. Both developers and publishers are dependant on a demand market that is sophisticated, fickle and short-term prone, forcing companies, a lot of them SMEs, to shoulder the largest part of the financial risks. And yet, it is the industry that best sailed through the dismal financial state of the multimedia and ICT sector in general. Closer to home, the study presents several major recommendations for the Quebec industry to continue doing well among which the continuous search for strong financial backers, more resources for game prototype development for SMEs, consistency in human resource training, strong push toward innovation and state of the art technologies and focus on international markets. For more information on the study and the industry, please see.

June/July 2002
The Information Technology Association of Canada (ITAC) has released an important study on the labour market for IT workers in the province of Ontario. The study argues that, even though there is currently a relative abundance of skilled IT workers, as the economy improves, that situation is bound to change with offer outpacing supply. The study considers that 38,000 IT jobs will be added in 2002, potentially creating a gap of approximately 9,900 unfilled positions. The study looked at the hiring intentions of Ontario-based employers of IT workers across the whole economy including finance, manufacturing and the resource sector as well as information technology. Measurable negative consequences on Ontario businesses include project delays, customer dissatisfaction, and lost sales opportunities. This study, the most comprehensive look at the IT job market in several years, was funded by Human Resources Development Canada and the Ontario Regional Office.

Alliance numériQC, the Quebec multimedia association, held May 1st a day-long forum entitled "Masters of our own interactive digital content". 150 industry and government representatives split into six thematic workshops to discuss how best to establish and develop policies and mechanisms that further the production and distribution of digital content. The groups looked at digital content financing, the importance of foreign markets versus local ones, human resources capable of responding to production demand, multimedia niches for the Quebec industry to specialize in, who can profit from the so-called convergence and whether the intellectual property models in existence today can evolve for the benefit of content producers. The forum concluded the day by stressing the importance of greater integration between those developing and producing digital content and those in charge of marketing and commercializing it. Other propositions included the creation of a provincial one-stop shop for content producers needing to take care of copyright management issues, an online portal to help the commercialization of original Quebec digital content and more government incentives in the area of marketing and distribution.

*Another 23% are heavy, pragmatic tech adopters - they use gadgets to keep up with social networks or be productive at work
%10% rely on mobile devices for voice, texting, or entertainment
*10% use information gadgets, but find it a hassle
*49% of Americans only occasionally use modern gadgetry and many others bristle at electronic connectivity

Database Law:

1.During the 105th Congress, the DFC worked to sponsor correct versions of the Collections of Information Antipiracy Act, a law designed to prevent thievery of intellectual property. This law became associated with databases, as the DFC fought to include the proper language to allow companies to protect the contents of their database.

2. During the last Congress, two competing bills were sponsored in the House of Representatives to assist companies in protecting the contents of their databases. Of the two, we believed that H.R. 1858 was the fairer, and that it allowed companies the maximum protection with the minimum interference in the competitive marketplace.

The World Bank InfoDev program announced July 24, 2003, the launch of four studies examining current topics in ICT for development. These studies are to be completed and available on the infoDev website by the end of November, 2003. The study on E-security Network will look at how Internet can become a more secure environment for SMEs in particular who now have ‘the possibility to compete on a global basis through their web site, communicate through the Internet and engage in e-commerce transactions’. The second study will consist of an open source software toolkit presenting information on ‘the forces shaping the open source market, case studies illustrating the benefits and challenges of its use, and a framework of best practices to encourage the exchange of information and promote discussion of this important topic’. Closer to the InfoDev program, the next two studies, also slated for the end of November, will look at the lessons learned from the InfoDev projects as well present 15 InfoDev case studies. The World Bank has announced early this year that it was phasing out its multi-year Core Grants Program and evaluating the impact and lessons of that program. As a contribution to the upcoming World Summit on the Information Society, infoDev has commissioned a study on the lessons learned both from infoDev's own programs and from similar efforts to foster greater access to, and use of, ICTs as tools of poverty reduction and sustainable development. In particular, the study will analyze the key conditions and critical success factors for the effective use of ICTs for development and poverty reduction.

The New York New Media Association (NYNMA) published this month a report entitled The website’s transforming role: from marketing channel to marketing central. The 14-page document was produced by CRM Metrix, a New York-based online marketing and business consulting firm. The overall objective of the document is to ‘share insights and ideas relating to the expansion of the brand website form a marketing channel to a centralized digital marketing hub and a launching point for customer relationships’. In other words how to ensure that brand websites elicit customer loyalty and consistent repeat business. The document confirms the notion that well crafted websites (design, ease of use, product displays, quality of information) ‘are powerful brand builders and provide some of the strongest and most cost effective opportunities of any medium to enhance customer relationships and increase retention on an ongoing basis’. Most cited examples seem to originate from the business experiences of well-known large companies and brands but nothing precludes smaller enterprises to apply some of the lessons learned: focus on quality of contact rather than quantity, more frequent repeat visitors, better quality of contact through communications means (newsletter, membership) and balance between content value and usability. You can find the report on the sites of www.nynma.org or www.crmmetrix.com)
