1998: Khora, Porno Estéreo: “deconstrucción sonora”
Una breve nota de Mauricio Matamoros que apareció en el periódico mexicano Unomásuno sobre aquella instalación audiovisual que Manrico Montero, VJ Jones y yo como Porno Estéreo realizamos en el Museo Universitario del Chopo de la ciudad de México el sábado 14 de noviembre de 1998.

Week 5: Digital Societies?
The final session of our Digital Societies module at City University London is today. If there is such a concept as “digital culture(s)”, what are some of the key issues around the “digitial society” or should we say “digital societies”?
Time has flown and today we have the final session(s) of our Digital Cultures modules. We have attempted to offer a kaleidoscope of perspectives that might help us to re-configure the digital media/digital culture landscape.
If there is such a concept as “digital culture(s)”, what are some of the key issues around the “digitial society” or should we say “digital societies”?
If everything goes well the timetable for today will be:
10:30-12:50
- Popularity vs. expertise:-Diego Beas, Oxtord Internet Institute
- Outlining the emergent digital culture within Higher Education- Mark Carrigan, LSE Politics blog
14.00-16:30
- Open Data- Janet Gunter, ReStart Project
- Digital Exclusion- David Bawden, City University London
It promises to be a great day!

The materials we have collected on Moodle are a good indicator of the intensity and complexity of the questions we have been working on, and a quick look at the links we have collected under the #CityDigiCult hashtag on Twitter gives us back a plethora of work to consider.
On Week 3 I really enjoyed how we went from Sabrina Francis’ presentation on social media strategy at City University London to historical and theoretical questions of collaboration and authorship in art in Blaise Cronin’s guest lecture.
In Spyridon Georgadis’ talk we also had the opportunity to find out how the British Council engages with its audience via social media, how to deal with some of…
