Produced by Mechthild Schmidt for 'Digital Communications + Media'
(DCoM), a BS degree at McGhee/Professional Studies SCPS/NYU
Co-Sponsored
with DCoM Student Club and Center for Advanced Digital Applications
(CADA) at NYU
CrossRoads, a McGhee panel series, examines
topics in Digital Arts, Industry, and Theory. An important
aspect of this series
is the cross-fertilization of creative ideas in neighboring
digital fields.
In “OUTSOURCING
CULTURE” seven
panelists from seven countries, from commercial, artistic
and political backgrounds, will investigate the cultural effects
of global networking and outsourcing. Among the questions
we will look at are:
-
What do we have to gain as a global or virtual community – what to loose or to watch to preserve?
-
Is the net community taking advantage of its potential as a democratic medium or are we creating a new form of colonialism?
An
open Q&A will
follow the panel. Bring yourself and a point of view!
Refreshments will be served.
