[speakers at MiT5: the unofficial blogosphere version]
Instead of waiting for the schedule to come up for the MiT5 conference (at MIT, April 27-29), I googled the blogosphere, and found the following participants:
- Scott Rettberg, Nick Montfort and I are doing a panel on “Appropriation and Collaboration in Digital Writing”. My bit is mostly about blogs.
- Derek Kompare on authorship. His blog has other interesting authorship and literature things, looks interesting. Mike Newman left a comment on this post that he would also attend.
- Jean Burgess writes that she , Axel Bruns and John Banks are doing a panel on “user-led content creation”. Jean’s work on quotidian creativity is great, and Axel does very interesting things about gatewatching, blogging, produsage and citizen journalism, so this should be good. Oh, look, I think Jean’s paper will be on Flickr, social aesthetics, and the reconfiguration of the relations between everyday life, ‘professional’ photography and artworlds.
- Luca Rossi is co-presenting a paper titled “Creativity, Ownership and collaboration in the digital age” (thanks Luca for adding this in the comments!)
- Kim Christen is doing a panel with on Technological Translations and Digital Dilemmas: Leveraging Culture for Heritage, Language and Policy Projects, with
Kate Hennessey, Nariyo Kono, Patrick Moore, Jason Shultz and Katerina Martina Teaiwa. - Paul Benson is giving a paper on Image, Network, Narrative: Creative Dispersion in the Novel of Digital Culture
- Casey O’Donnell is giving a talk on Mixed Messages: Independent and Collaborative Console Video Game Development
- Alec Austin is giving a paper on “Authorship in Interactive Media: Collaboration, Interaction, and User-Generated Content in the Games Industry”
- K. is doing something on remix culture.
- Mary Madden (Pew Internet & American life project), D. Travers Scott (communication, university of southern california), Chuck Tryon (film and media studies, Fayetteville state university), and David Silver (media studies, San Francisco, also founder of the Resource Center for Cyberculture Studies, which has the best collection of reviews of books in the field I know of as well as things like lists of course syllabi in cyberculture and so on) - here’s their panel abstract.
- Alice Marwick’s sidebar says she’s presenting at MiT5. Doesn’t say what on, but she’s “studying social technology from a feminist perspective” - sounds interesting.
- Jessica, whose blog is called “Replayable - stories : games : community” is presenting at MiT5 instead of going to the Ladies Rock Camp. I kind of hope she’ll rock the conference, too.
- Geoffrey Long is presenting a paper called “Radial Narrative Maps and Mike Mignola’s Hellboy”
- Mike Newman’s doing a paper called “The Community as Artist: The Show with Ze Frank” about the way web video exploits the architecture of participation (thanks Mike for adding this in your comment to this post!)
Ha, that was quite good fun. Do you know of any more people and presentations at MiT5?

Ha! Well done with this Jill.

Thanks for finding these! David Silver at USF has a panel posted on his site too.

How can I express my feelings at not being at MiT5? Jealous? Sad? Fearful (yes, fearful; with all the energy, creativity and intelligence in one space, the world may change … but will any of you remember to tell Twitter? ;)
My only consolation: DAC, or, more precisely, PerthDAC … sometimes, it’s nice when the world comes to visit you (well, your city, but you know what I mean)! :)

There is also an upcoming event with several users already attending or watching.

Oh, thanks, Kim, I’ve added David Silver’s panel to the list. And yes, I’m quite pleased to see the list :) Tama - PerthDAC will be awesome :)

Thanks for the collection of links, Jill. I’m very much looking forward to MIT5 where I’ll finally get a chance to meet a number of scholars and scholar bloggers I’ve been reading for years.
March 18th, 2007 at 17:55
what a great lineup, thanks for the list!
i, too, look forward to this conference. hopefully all of us will have some time to meet up outside the conference walls.

Hey Jill, thanks for this! Now I’m excited. My paper is called “The Community as Artist: The Show with Ze Frank” and it’s about the way web video exploits the architecture of participation. (also the link to my blog in your post is broken, fyi)

Thanks, Mike! I’ve added your paper to the list. I’m excited too, the list of presenters looks great! And this is just the unofficial list, I assume there are people out there who’ll be presenting who didn’t blog their paper.
Or maybe not, at a conference like that?

[…] (Looking for the unoffical blogosphere version of the speaker list for MiT5? Here you go!) I’m off (in a matter of, well, months) to the States for not one but two conferences at the end of April. First up is MiT5 (Media in Transition 5, April 26-29), at MIT, which I think will be exciting although the program’s not posted yet. Luca Rossi from The Truants will be there, I know that, and I’m on a panel about “Appropriation and Collaboration in Digital Writing” with Nick Montfort and Scott Rettberg. […]

[…] That means my unofficial blogosphere version of the program only covers about a tenth of what’s going on. Yikes. Filed under:events — Jill @ 14:41 [ ] […]

Um, it’s Geoffrey, not Jeffrey, but aside from that — thanks for the heads-up! This should be a fairly awesome conference.

Oops, sorry, Geoffrey, I fixed that. And yes, it looks great!
