The 2008 NMC Summer Conference, hosted at Princeton University, is coming up soon, so we thought it was a good time to have an NMC conversation with conference host, David Hopkins, Manager of the New Media Center at Princeton.
In our conversation, David has shared what this experience means for Princeton and an overview of what the “Conference Task Force” has been up to. If you missed it, check out the “24′ themed video they showed at Indianapolis last year: Conference Task Force video (16.7 Mb Quicktime
Our newest conversation is a celebration and reflection for the Pachyderm Project as we talke about the NMC’s announcement for Pachyderm Services. Now the NMC offers hosted subscriptions allowing individual and organizational to create accounts and create Pachyderm published content. The full details are on the new Pachyderm Services web site.
In today’s conversation, we welcome special guests Peter Samis, Associate Curator of the Education and Program Manager for Interactive Educational Technologies at SFMOMA, where Pachyderm was “born” ans Scott Sayre, from Sandbox Studios, who is currently the chair of the Pachyderm Council guiding the future of Pachyderm.
So we cover in this session both the past, present, and future of Pachyderm.
Just back from New Orleans, Larry, Rachel, and Alan share their reflections on the 2007 New Orleans Regional NMC Conference at Tulane including reviews of the keynote sessions, their highlights from the program sessions, and memories of the special events, especially the Second Line parade. Mostly, this conference wove together cohesive themes of the power of digital storytelling, music, creativity, community, the capacity of human potential especially in face of events such as the post Katrina flooding of the city.
