The Mobile Journalism Collective (Mojo Co Org) How Does Citizen 2 0 Change The Face Of Information?
[LESS INFO] 0 VIEWS | ADDED 14:56:36 09/04/09
In the face of a more networked world, as the definition of “content provider” evolves beyond monikers like NBC, CBS, ABC - even PBS - and begins to include “unknown” names like “envirogurl-11206,” new players are using video to introduce audiences to broader themes and truer life stories. By virtue of this change we citizens, presented with an unprecedented opportunity, are asked to evolve, be prepared to pick from the bevy of choices, engage with more communities; tell bet- ter stories of our lives and our perspectives – in essence we are asked to become Citizen 2.0. What are the responsibilities of citizen 2.0? Does citizen 2.0 production replace or augment traditional journalism? What are the new models incorporating citizen 2.0 into legacy forms of media distribution and production? And how does citizen 2.0 content reshape the value of information? All these questions and more are currently in the ether of the moment and the Mobile Journalism Collective at MojoCo.org attempts to address them by training new voices, and opening an hon- est dialogue on what should be the new principles of information sharing for a more civically engaged world. presenter: Nonso Christian Ugbode, Director of the National Black Programming Consortium

Mediaspace Potentials And Mapping Open Video
[LESS INFO] 2 VIEWS | ADDED 23:59:51 09/01/09
In the first part of this session Kari-Hans Kommonen will discuss the broader con- text of digital media evolution. As all media is becoming digital, the media environ- ment is changing from media specific devices and rigid, corporate controlled chan- nels into a flexible, software designable open space, the Mediaspace, where anyone can produce and distribute, a shift that is also the fundamental force driving Open Video. What new potentials does the emerging Mediaspace present for society, me- dia and for Open Video? The second part, hosted by Sanna Marttila, discusses the concept of openness and its various characteristics, and maps different definitions and dimensions in open video. The aim is to shed light on some of the current un- derstandings and emerging practices of open video through online video clips. The mapping is conducted collaboratively online during the conference where everyone is invited to share their videos and views. presenter: Kari-Hans Kommonen — Director, Arki research group in the Media Lab of University of Art and Design Helsinki presenter: Sanna Marttila — Researcher and Project Manager, Arki research group in the Media Lab of University of Art and Design Helsinki

Human Rights And Indigenous Media Dilemmas Challenges And Opportunities
[LESS INFO] 0 VIEWS | ADDED 23:34:16 09/01/09
The key elements of an open video culture are the capacities and opportunities for participation, fair use of existing media and transparency. However, from a human rights perspective, issues of consent, representation and revictimization emerge in an open and networked online environment of rework- ing, remixing and recirculating video and other imagery. How do we go about “in- corporating the Universal Declaration of Human Rights” into the “terms of ser- vice” of both open video culture and broader online video? How do we introduce ideas around consent and human dignity into the broader ecosystem? How do we respect cultural worlds where transparency is not always a desired outcome, as certain images should not be seen by outsiders, by the uninitiated, or by opposite genders? What can be learnt from the experiences of remix culture, fan fiction and political use of remixing to-date? moderator: Sameer Padania — Manager, the Hub (hub.witness.org) panelist: Faye Ginsburg — Director of the Center for Media and Professor, NYU panelist: Lea Shaver — Fellow, Yale ISP panelist: Sam Gregory — Program Director, WITNESS

Narrative For Openness
[LESS INFO] 0 VIEWS | ADDED 23:02:33 09/01/09
In this session Adnan Hadzi and Andrea Rota develop a narrative for openness, focusing on media and technologies but within the broader context of social and human development. Adnan Hadzi presents a case for the strategic use of copyl- eft licenses within the datascapes of peer-to-peer networks by establishing data spheres, acknowledging the need for a social contract which can uphold an ethical viability for existing data spheres. Andrea Rota extends this case further, highlighting how openness can be seen as an essential trait of the “human enterprise” rather than one of many possible ways to develop creative and technological processes. presenter: Adnan Hadzi — PhD Candidate, Goldsmiths College, University of London presenter: Andrea Rota — CTO, Xelera and MPhil Student, London School of Economics
