The New School
Eugene Lang College The New School for Liberal Arts hosts "The Internet as Playground and Factory," an international conference exploring the meaning and changing face of labor in the digital era.
The event seeks to advance the conversation about digital media beyond technological advances and commercial applications to... touch upon vital issues facing the future of Internet users. For three days, 90 theorists, artists, legal scholars, activists, students, programmers, historians, and social media experts will join to re-evaluate what constitutes unpaid labor, value, leisure, play, fun, and exploitation in an economy that is increasingly driven by the expropriation of all our blogging, data entries in online profiles, and submitted photos and videos. The conference will be comprised of discussions, panels, presentations, a film screening, a playroom, a conference game, and a re-enactment of Facebook by a performance artist.
The digital labor conference inaugurates Lang College’s new conference series, “The Politics of Digital Media.” This ongoing series will work in collaboration with associated institutions to form working groups and networks to address issues from non-commercial infrastructures for social media, free software, the future of public media, artistic interventions, and curriculum about digital labor. To participate, please join the discussion mailing list through the conference website.
The conference is free and open to the public, but advance reservations are required online. To view the full conference agenda and list of participants, visit http://www.digitallabor.org . Video interviews with participants are available at http://vimeo.com/user2103510/videos/. You can alslo enter the event discussion through Twitter at http://twitter.com/idctweets.Read more
