Live on 22 October – co-pilot.net: art, technology and social change
Shooters,
If your film is engaged with campaigning for social change, you might be interested in co-pilot.net as a means of discussing and seeding your project. Please come back to Tools to report when you have had a chance to try it out. Launches 22 October:
co-pilot.net is an online resource designed to collate knowledge and experiences and enable open discussion for those working at the intersection of art, technology and social change.
Anyone is welcome to join, share and exchange views, resources, skills and experiences. co-pilot.net features case studies of convergence between the spheres of art, technology and social change as well as interviews, podcasts, videos and lists of useful resources. Users can add content, comment on topics and direct people to their own or other interesting projects.
There currently exists an extensive unmapped landscape of socially engaged work that inspires change through art, technology and participation. This includes working with older people, young people and the socially excluded through the ever-expanding field of new and emerging creative technologies. It is impossible to provide a one-size-fits-all toolkit for a terrain as complex and diverse that is still rarely discussed in a free and open fashion.
co-pilot.net provides the framework to aggregate the wealth of experience and knowledge held by talented individuals and groups to inspire discussion, exchange and action.
From 22 October to 2 December 2008 co-pilot.net will host a live online debate. Every week a guest host with extensive experience in the field of art, technology or social change will upload information and lead a discussion forum for the exploration of issues and debate.
You can contribute to the growing pool of knowledge, resources and debate at http://co-pilot.net.
