A Brief History Of Social Media. Social media isn’t really “new.” While it has only recently become part of mainstream culture and the business world, people have been using digital media for networking, socializing and information gathering – almost exactly like now – for over 30 years: The Phone Phreaking Era (1950′s – Early 90′s) Social media didn’t start with computers, it was born on “line” – on the phone.

Phone phreaking, or the rogue exploration of the telephone network, started to gain momentum in the 1950′s. Phone phreaks weren’t motivated by fraud, but rather, they were technophiles and information addicts trapped in a telecom monopoly long before Skype or “free nights and weekends” existed. (Calling a friend in another state could rack up a $40/hr charge.) These early social media explorers built “boxes“… homemade electronic devices that could generate tones allowing them to make free calls and get access to the experimental back end of the telephone system.

Extrait de « Open See » : au Bangladesh (Jim Goldberg/Magnum) « Open See », projet multiforme du photographe Jim Goldberg sur les flux migratoires en Europe extrait d’un ensemble plus vaste intitulé « The New Europeans », est exposé à la Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson.

Comme le sujet qu’il couvre, l’errance des populations d’immigrés, la narration photographique a-t-elle atteint un point de non-retour ? La Grèce, point d’arrivée des routes de l’exode. Jim Goldberg, photographe nord-américain de l’Agence Magnum (depuis 2006), boursier du prix HCB en 07, a choisi en 2004 la Grèce pour relater les détresses et les errances de plusieurs courants d’immigrations. La Grèce, certes parce que « berceau de l’Europe » mais plus objectivement parce que le nombre d’immigrés est estimé entre 1,5 et 2 millions d’immigrés, pour la plupart clandestins. La photographie, plaque tournante et sensible des exils « J’ai le privilège d’être à la fois le narrateur et de témoin. The Micro-Sociology of Networks. Next week I am giving a guest lecture at the Parsons School of Design, specifically an innovation course being taught by BusinessWeek's Bruce Nussbaum.

I've been fortunate to establish a relationship with Bruce over the years—ironically all initiated and somewhat sustained by social networks. But the premise of my talk is going to be somewhat different (hopefully) from what we see and hear in the business world which is currently infatuated with the latest and greatest bright and shiny object to hit the scene. What I'm hoping to delve into a bit more is how these bright and shiny objects influence our behaviors and how these behaviors are evolving even thoiugh our basic needs remain relatively the same. As I do with nearly all my presentations—I post them up before I give them so you can have a look and I can initiate a first feedback loop before the "launch" on Monday.

Proposed by participants of the International Leonardo Education Forum and Expert meetings at re:place 2007, Berlin, Mutamorphosis, Prague, ISEA2008, Singapore and ARS Electronica2008, Linz Editors: Michael Century, Ernest Edmonds, Lynn Hughes, D aniela Reimann and Nina Czegledy Introduction This summary presents an initial framework for policy analysis and planning in media and new media education. It is based on Leonardo Education Forum (LEF) meetings held in 2007 and 2008 that called for a “framework for policy analysis and planning in (new) media art education intended for stakeholders in the field– practitioners, educators, researchers, theoreticians, historians, etc, as well as administers and policymakers”. Field Establishing the principal areas of concern Providing concrete recommendations Focus Issues The meetings established the need to focus on the following four areas: Network-centric and Intercultural Learning Methods and Processes.

Action Points: Of books and unbooks « Adam Greenfield’s Speedbird. I’m not sure precisely what’s driving it – maybe it’s the bracing, clarifying, liberatory aspect of a severe economic downtown – but I sense an absolutely titanic percolation of creativity out there in the world just now. Each day seems to bring word of another genuinely good new idea or way of framing things, something truly worth reckoning with. I’m frankly jealous that so much of this is going on at a moment when – ironically enough, and for the first time in a decade – I’m mired inside the kind of structure that doesn’t lend itself to such investigations, but the optimist in me hopes there may still be one or two ways to contribute to and participate in what is shaping up to be a great fructification.

The unbook is exemplary of the kind of ideas this moment in our lives seems to be turning up. To my mind, anyway, the unbook is a container for long-form ideas appropriate to an internetworked age.
