Virtual Eq. Learning Project Published in Memefest Reader 2011

E-mail Print PDF

Memefest BookAn interactive Web application project that I developed called The Virtual Eq. Learning Environment was recently published in the international Memefest book, DEMONSTRATING RELEVANCE: RESPONSE-ABILITY -
 Theory, practice and imagination of socially responsive communication. The book brings a different, fresh and radical interdisciplinary reflexive look at communications and media practices and theories. It contains textual and visual works that were created between 2002 and 2009 in the context of the International Festival of Radical Communication MEMEFEST and additional new reflections written in the end of 2010. Editorial and curatorial work was conducted in 2010.

The collection of texts is constructive and responsible. With its uncompromising radical approach, it critically questions the ideology and practice of mainstream media-communication discourse. It is looking for theoretical and practical solutions where they are: in socio-responsible conceptualization. The collection of texts is not modeled after a template. It is unique, original and visually invaluable. It combines different visual perspectives and theoretical approaches that are indispensable for the field of social, cultural, media and communication, as well as design studies. A reflexive interlace of theory and practice.It is designed for anyone interested in new aspects of socio-critical thinking: professionals in the field of communication, communication educators with a social fibre, students in cultural, media and communication programs, students of design and art, as well as media activists. Book is in English and in Slovene language. This is a key text for anyone interested in socially responsive communication.

Newsflash

CMI OpenWeb is helping to bring good health to the local population through a new natural donation program. The organic vegetable, fruit, herb, and flower gardens at CMI OpenWeb have been productive so far this year. We are very proud to have initiated an informal partnership with the Centre County Youth Service Bureau in order to donate freshly harvested products to many of their social programs helping to feed families in Centre County, PA. So far, CMI OpenWeb has delivered almost 50 pounds of produce, with a plan to continue to make regular donations throughout the productive growing season.

The Youth Service Bureau ensures that children, youth, and families will have opportunities to realize and fulfill their potential for growth and development through their participation in a continuum of community-based, family-based, and residential programs. (www.ccysb.com)
