Cumulus Working Groups Denver, USA – September 2011

Cumulus Working Groups meet again in Denver. Welcome!

Meeting in Denver, USA Sept 2011

Digital Culture in the United State recognizes that we are in the midst of a revolution.  At the start of this revolution there was a great deal of hype around media “convergence” — where the web would intersect with traditional broadcast medium and the “new media” would be born.  But now it is clear that the future won’t be so easily defined.  Instead we see a multitude of different possibilities as designers and developers create new products and services from online “mash-ups” to multi-device cloud computing services, social network based games, and products that connect to everything and get multiple generations involved in advanced technology in new and exciting ways. We recognize and embrace this complexity as it becomes imbedded in endless inherent possibilities. Join our Cumulus Working Group – Digital Culture and engage in discussion and interactions from around the world.

Digital Culture Working Group

Cumulus Digital Culture is a working group bringing together members of the Cumulus Association dedicated to new media and interaction design.

For a while now, digital technologies and services have appeared all around us on a worldwide scale. Art, design and media higher education institutions have taken into account this emerging and challenging trend pervading our societies. Many courses, curricula, degrees and research projects have come to life over the past ten or fifteen years: "new media, "interaction design", "multimedia/hypermedia" etc...

Depending on each institution's own history, on the personal interests of the pioneering founders as well as on national and local contexts, many different options have been explored. It may now be time, in 2007, to identify and to gather the various players in our institutions interested in what can be called a "digital culture" in a broader sense.

This working group is meant to be both a platform for discussion and exchanges about existing experiences and a framework for future collaboration, including the quite contemporary issue of research.

Feedback from the Shanghai Session Sept 2010

The Cumulus Digital Culture session in Shanghaï, September 7th 2010, has been a fruitful and friendly event. The working groups were organised at the Shanghaï Concert Hall, a XIXth century neo-classical building bringing an ideal contrast to the XXIst century concerns we were discussing.  Despite a fuzzy organisation from Tongji that brought a little mess and improvisation (no room available for the first two hours but free coffee), the program of the session has proved to be worth the effort, thanks to our smart speakers and participants.
