The panel was wonderful - could we have another hour or so to discuss the many issues raised and the ones we didn't get to?

I'm working with a group in Hawai‘i that is attempting to set up a creative media center so that people can play/work with all of the technologies(that they can't afford)in a large space. The DOE is interested in having us train teachers there, too. Johannes' comments about his space helped me to feel more confident about its positive value.

This is a terrific article that covers quite a number of important considerations affecting all of us -- whether art-makers, or art-consumers. If your interest is piqued by what you've read in the Denver Post and you just can't contain yourself (!), please join me for a very lively panel that I'll be moderating that will explore these very topics, and more:

New Technologies/New Opportunities
Thursday, June 12: 4:30 - 5:45pm

Moderator: Alex Shapiro, composer
Speakers: Rob Capili, www.VoiceofDance.com
Johannes Goebel, founding director, Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
Hollis Headrick, consultant
Erin West, Vice President of Marketing, POP

I'm really interested in what those who attend our session have to say on the subject from their many perspectives, and these panelists are fabulous, so come and participate in the conversation!

See you soon,
Alex
