The tutors for the school were Lloyd Sharp, Francesca da Rimini and John Tonkin, three of Australia's leading new media artists.

To coincide with the school a satellite event was held on January 21. The event, Quick and Dirty, provided an opportunity for local artists to look at a range of work, talk about ideas and meet with the artists attending the school. The evening was launched by Dr Margaret Seares, Chair of the Australia Council, who spoke of the importance of training for artists in this field and the benefit of enabling connections and collaborations for artists working in this area locally and nationally. The evening combined a series of presentations and artists' vignettes, with an opportunity to meet the summer school participants and to view work-in-progress being produced at the school.

Presentations were undertaken by Kathy Bowry, a new media legal specialist, nervous_objects, graduates of the 1997 Summer School, who have gone on to work collaboratively, Perth based writer Josephine Wilson, Perth based artists Paul Thomas and Vicki Wilson and artists and tutors of the school, Francesca da Rimini and Lloyd Sharp.
