How is our digital citizenship being constructed? Taina Rajanti and guests discuss the new digital phenomena in the everyday life. What rights do we have, what rights do we need? Digital traces, digital personal history and control over digital culture are at stake. Is this a design problem? Is it my right to design my life or do I need a license for it?
Uusi media ja oppiminen -keskustelun teemana on digitalisoitumisen oppimiselle asettamat haasteet ja mahdollisuudet. Keskustelua vetää Teemu Leinonen ja siihen osallistuvat:
Mika "Lumi" Tuomola meets Jessica Mulligan, a veteran of the online game industry. The Stories we tell / Mirrors we hold interview paints a portrait of Jessica Mulligan, an eighteen year veteran of the online game industry with extensive experience in producing and managing massively multiplayer persistent story-worlds. What kind of life experience makes a person want to become a professional storyteller? What urges her to share her stories with interactive audience as co-authoring participants? Why a drama actor wants to become a multiplayer game world developer? What kind of mirrors is the games industry holding up to the face of mankind in comparison to accustomed drama and linear storytelling?
Together with his guests, Arto Tamminen from Kopiosto and Pekka Pohjakallio from Nokia Multimedia, Kari-Hans Kommonen discusses the effects of media convergence and the emerging technologically, economically, and culturally novel media environment. Traditional media, structures and actors are challenged by new media and distribution formats - should we try to preserve the old order or pave the way for new, brave, somehow more interesting future media practices?
Want to change the world? Join us for a lively discussion with Harold Nelson, author of The Design Way, Intentional Change in an Unpredictable World and Kari Kuutti, professor in Human Computer Interface design at the University of Oulu, on What does it mean to pursue a Doctor of Arts (Art and Design) degree from the University of Art and Design Helsinki, Media Lab?
