James Ferraro Touch Screen Splatter Punks of Digital Tokyo (In production, due to be completed in 2013) I’m sitting on the AstroTurf lawn of The Grove, a ‘retroscape’ shopping mall in Los Angeles, listening to 1980s covers band The Copycats deliver immaculate counterfeits of bygone MTV hits. A 19th-century trolley car clanks by, passing the Art Deco movie theatre, and heads towards the Farmer’s Market, a vintage food court with clapboard stalls and hand-painted signs.

Why digital culture? - 101 Culture
I spend plenty of time at work and at play considering how people behave online. Over the last couple of years I've been considering the idea of the appearance of a digital culture, a change in mass behaviour triggered by digital technology, in particular communication technology.

I don’t mean the pure “tech” books of the O’Reilly oeuvre , but rather works concerning digital culture and how technology is affecting politics, journalism, art and society as a whole.

Jose Murillo produced the following primer on Quora , explaining the legacy of Gilberto Gil (and his successors) and Lula’s policies, now endangered under a new Minister of Culture: “I think it would be useful to mention the elements which, in my view, created the set and setting for the Brazilian Digital Culture Experiment. * a minister of culture like Gilberto Gil, who created such thing as the Tropicalia movement in the 60s, and was seconded by his own vice, Juca Ferreira, resulting in 8 years (2002-2010) of a continued program happening at a strategic moment for technology and culture. * advanced free software policies implemented since 2002 by the Brazilian government as a whole, creating a better IT environment for understanding the fabrics of the internet.
