===================================================================
The advances in computer entertainment, multi-player/online gaming, technology-enabled art,
culture and performance have created new forms of entertainment that attract, immerse and
absorb their participants. The phenomenal success of such a "culture" to initiate a mass
audience in patterns and practices of its own consumption has supported the evolution of
an enormously powerful mass entertainment, digital art and performance industry extending
deeply into every aspect of our lives, leading further to major societal and business
contacting changes.
The International Conference on Digital Interactive Media in Entertainment and Arts (DIMEA),
in cooperation with ACM, is the premier forum for the presentation of societal, business
and technological advances and research results in cross-disciplinary areas related with
digital interactive media in entertainment, art and creative technologies. This conference
is dedicated to build common ground between research, design and development, learning
and collaboration in its myriad digital media forms: one of its many objectives is the
exploration of 'play & learn', demonstrating new arenas and applications for digital
gaming and incorporating leading edge technologies, designs and models in our changing
views about what is involved in gaming.
DIMEA 2008 is jointly organized by Athens Information Technology (AIT), ACM Special
Interest Group on Computer Human Interaction (ACM SIGCHI, Singapore Chapter) and the
