| Syndicate: CONNECTED - Networked Media Culture in a Changing Europ |
Date: Wed, 20 Oct 1999 15:56:14 +0300 From: Tapio Makela <[email protected]> /~CONNECTED Networked Media Culture in a Changing Europe Lasipalatsi Film and Media Centre, Helsinki, November 19th -21st, 1999 Part of Helsinki Media Week programme Coordinated by Tapio Mäkelä, [email protected] /~CONNECTED brings together practitioners, producers and policy makers within contemporary media culture in Europe. Its attempts to create exchanges of experience and information between organisations and individuals from different fields: media cultural organisations, media centres, policy makers on a local, national and European level, media art organisations, corporate research labs and university researchers. Following events such as P2P conference in Netherlands (http://www.dds.nl/~p2p/) and Networking Centres of Innovation in Austria, it explores the ways in which local experiences can be compared, exchanged and rewritten to form models of best practice. The event will officially launch the ECB, European Cultural Backbone, a network based on trust and a shared interest to promote a rich media cultural practice, which already flourishes in Europe. The network proposes that an Internet Backbone or a set wide bandwidth would be subsidised by the EU in order to enable transnational media production, broadcast transmission of events and inexpensive communications. The ECB acts as an advisory body for the policy makers nationally and within the EU. /~CONNECTED is about the goals of the ECB: 1) Bandwidth for media culture 2) Support for models of best practice 3) Active investigation of what European media culture consists of 4) Enhanced networking between media cultural organisations, individual hubs" and policy makers. /~CONNECTED refers to the ways in which media cultural local practices and organisations create collaboration, projects, discourse and policy across and partly independent of national borders. Emerging networks, projects and content are no longer international, but translocal by nature, already connected.
