>
>San Francisco-(May 27,1995)  Though they won't be able to smell it,
>children around the world will be able to see, touch and almost taste the
>art work they share on behalf of the 50th Anniversary of the United
>Nations.
>
>For the first time worldwide, children will be exchanging their visions of
>peace on the World Wide Web; their artwork serving as a catalyst for group
>interaction with local and global audiences. This live and online gathering
>at the Children's World Peace Festival will take place on June 24th from 10
>a.m. to 6 p.m. Pacific Standard Time. It will occur locally in Sausalito
>(at East Fort Baker), and globally from Belfast to Beijing.

>Children from nations of conflict have been invited by the Creativity
>Café, spearheaded by artist Peter H. Rosen, to express their visions of
>peace using CU-SeeMe video conferencing software. This children's simulcast
>organized at internet cafe's worldwide, demonstrates grassroots
>interconnection through multimedia computer technology.
>
>Anyone with a high bandwidth Internet connection and video capable
>computer, can use Cornell University's CU-SeeMe software (anonymous ftp to:
>gated.cornell.edu on the Internet), to interactively join in the
>"broadcast."
>
>"As children visualize their dreams of a friendlier planet", said Rosen.
>"Our world will take one small step towards stability, and another leap
>towards peace." Rosen, producer of the event, was an organizer of the
>Creative Computer Exhibit at the California Museum of Science and Industry
>in Los Angeles, and is planning a permanent Creativity Café for San
>Francisco. According to Mr. Rosen, "Our intention is to provide
>neighborhood access to technology and to facilitate the public's creative
>expression."
>
>Several community organizations will be participating, including Glide
>Memorial's "Computers and You" program, and East Palo Alto's "Plugged In,"
>both providing computer access to minorities and the underprivileged.
>Teachers and multimedia instructors at the Creativity Café and other
>CU-SeeMe sites, will help youngsters put their artwork and digital
>compositions online. Bring your visions of peace! For more information
