Welcome on the Tacitus web site

The relationship of the applied arts to science and technology is a question of immense contemporary importance. The advent of new virtual media means that technology offers not only new tools but also the prospect of entirely new ways of working in virtual spaces.
In October 2001, Edinburgh College of Art and EdVEC (Edinburgh Virtual Environment Centre, University of Edinburgh) began a three-year collaborative research project, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Board.
