Digital Playbor?

UPDATE: I was having embed issues but they are solved. Scroll down for the videos.

There is a conference coming up at the New School called “The Internet as Playground and Factory.” The lineup is ridiculous, comprising of who’s who in media studies, sociology, anthropology and other related disciplines. Moreover, it features three of my teachers–Patricia T. Clough (my dissertation chair), Alex Galloway (with whom I took a 6-person seminar at NYU) and Paolo Carpignano (for Fieldston/Wesleyan people, yes…Jonas’ dad). What’s cool is that the conference organizer Trebor Scholz has been taking video of the various speakers and compiling them on Vimeo channel. They’ve been fantastic quite frankly. So here they are:

Clough

Galloway

Carpignano (from different Vimeo channel but speaking on thematically similar issues)
