 The Multimedia Writing Festival at Morlaix
The third ‘Nouveaux Gutenberg’ festival of multimedia writing was held at Morlaix in December 2001. Four topics were featured: interactive learning, the development of the interactive press, the new economy, and discovery of multimedia creative designers and artists, such as the Compagnie Lackaal Duckric, which put on a multimedia show. Visitors could try out of the latest video games and educational CD ROMs, and attend discussion panels with creative designers, writers, project managers, Website developers, and more. A giant screen projected documentaries on multimedia creations, demos, interviews, and profiles. Productions by Supinfocom students, a multimedia bookstore, a Film Night, animated images, plastic arts exhibits, comic books and video were also featured at the festival. www.nouveaux-gutenberg.com/ www.artsdanslarue.com/nouveaux-gutenberg The Virtual Studio by Triptik Films

Tralalère is a cultural-fun portal for children from 3 to 10. Participants in five different countries update the fun, colorful website regularly. A sound chart identifies five frame sets: Tralafaire (customized culture guide for parents); Tralazique (a juke-box playing streamed songs, nursery stories, fairy tales and stories, designed with musical partners); Tralazine (interactive magazine); Tralartistes (where children can find their favorite performers); and Tralajeux (where games and contests win Tralapoints for the children). Children can send their friend electronic cards with ‘Tralacartes’. www.tralalere.com An Original Search Engine Called Kartoo

Its original features are the graphics and hyperbolic interface (Flash format) for search-find presentations. Kartoo is available at www.kartoo.com free of charge.
