| Sun | 1200 | Future Art: What New Forms of Art might Arise from Current Technologies or Esthetics? | Computer composition, collaborative kinetic sculpture, zero-gee dance?

| Sun | 1400 | The Short Story's Role in Fantastic Fiction | Short fiction rarely gets the attention that novels do by reviewers. It is harder to sell collections and anthologies than novels.
