Hello all,

I'm writing on behalf of the Open Video Alliance, in preparation for
our Open Video Conference in New York City, October 1-2. OVC is a high-
profile gathering of thought leaders in business, academia,
technology, and non-profits to explore the future of the online video
medium.

This year's OVC is particularly important, given new technology
developments.

If you are interested in the critical debates around online video,
participatory culture, and the mass media generally, you may be
interested in participating. Details from last year's event are
available at http://openvideoalliance.org/open-video-conference/speakers09/

If you have an idea for a panel, workshop, or any other programming,
please take the time to suggest it at:

http://openvideoconference.org/proposals

We will offer travel funding to a number of participants. The deadline
to propose a session is June 7th.

Please feel free to pass the message along to friends are colleagues
who are interested in online video and the open web.

Best wishes,

Ben Moskowitz

Screens

Viewing Media Installation Art

Investigates how viewers experience screen-based art in museum

Media screens?film, video, and computer screens?have increasingly  
pervaded both artistic production and everyday life since the 1960s.  
Yet the nature of viewing artworks made from these media, along with  
their subjective effects, remains largely unexplored. Screens  
addresses this gap, offering a historical and theoretical framework  
for understanding screen-reliant installation art and the  
spectatorship it evokes.

Examining a range of installations created over the past fifty years  
that investigate the rich terrain between the sculptural and the  
cinematic, including works by artists such as Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Doug  
Aitken, Peter Campus, Dan Graham, VALIE EXPORT, Bruce Nauman, and  
Michael Snow, Kate Mondloch traces the construction of screen  
spectatorship in art from the seminal film and video installations of  
the 1960s and 1970s to the new media artworks of today?s digital  
culture.

Mondloch identifies a momentous shift in contemporary art that  
challenges key premises of spectatorship brought about by  
technological objects that literally and metaphorically filter the  
subject?s field of vision. As a result she proposes that contemporary  
viewers are, quite literally, screen subjects and offers the unique  
critical leverage of art as an alternative way to understand media  
culture and contemporary visuality.

"What is most provocative and original about Kate Mondloch?s approach  
is that she realizes that screens are both objects and ?virtual  
windows,? material and immaterial entities at the same time. Screens  
has not only the potential of being a major contribution to a pre- 
existing art historical field, but opening up the discipline to  
entirely new modes of critical enquiry." ?Colin Gardner, University of  
California, Santa Barbara

Kate Mondloch is assistant professor of art history at the University  
of Oregon.

* Cisco sees Internet traffic quadrupling by 2014

 * Video to be primary driver of growth

 NEW YORK, June 2 (Reuters) - Network equipment maker Cisco
Systems Inc (CSCO.O) said it expects global Internet traffic to
more than quadruple by 2014 as more people use the Internet to
watch videos and chat with friends online.

 Cisco forecast Internet traffic to rise to 767 exabytes a
year by 2014, with most of the growth coming from online video.
That forecast is also 100 exabytes higher than the level it
projected last year for 2013.

 One exabyte equals 1 billion gigabytes. To illustrate the
sheer size of online traffic it expects, Cisco said watching
all the video crossing over the global network in 2014 would
take around 72 million years.

 The company said video, including video-on-demand on cable
and Internet services, will account for around 91 percent of
global consumer online traffic by 2014.

 Cisco makes routers and switches that direct Internet
traffic, and is a key beneficiary of the trend as phone and
cable service providers upgrade their networks to handle
increased Web use.

 Suraj Shetty, vice president of Cisco's service provider
marketing, said Web traffic was growing more rapidly than he
had expected a few years ago. He cited new gadgets and the
popularity of video sites like Google Inc's (GOOG.O) YouTube
and movie downloading services such as Netflix Inc (NFLX.O).

 "Let's look at the last two years. The economy has gone
down pretty much across the globe. But IP traffic has actually
accelerated because there are a lot more people using video,"
he said. "You see devices like Blu-ray players with Netflix and
YouTube built in... and the iPad comes along."

 Cisco said increasing network bandwidth capacity should
allow more consumers to more quickly, download videos in
high-definition and 3D formats, and to watch them without
interruptions.

 The company has also expanded into areas like consumer
video products and corporate videoconferencing equipment, which
are accelerating growth in Internet traffic.

 It said Web-based videoconferencing would likely grow
180-fold from 2009 through 2014. Global mobile data traffic
will increase 39 times from 2009 to 2014, it predicted.

...although this was a rather feeble attempt by the IDF to control
damage. Their clip at best reasserted their own constituency and even
inside Israel it did not convince many observers. However, more to the
point of the short article, I am not convinced that this was a good
example of governments using social media because:

   1. I saw the Israeli "version" of events (in fact both sides
      versions) in the main news on TV and not online, whereas the IDF
      released these videos primarily on their own website. Is this
      considered social media?
   2. Whereas the Israeli version is definitely the government/official
      version of the events, the same cannot be made so obviously for
      the activists side, since it was a flotilla of international
      activists on board and no government representatives and the boats
      where attacked by the IDF and not Pro-occupation Israeli
      activists. There is a kind of asymmetry here.

Kuros

Message-ID: <4C0F7817.6040409@networkcultures.org>


PLEASE NOTE: The deadline for abstracts has now been extended to June 25th 2010

---Apologies for cross-posting---

Call for Papers ? "Besides the Screen: Moving Images during
Distribution, Exhibition and Consumption"

27th November 2010 - Goldsmiths, London

New media technologies impact cinema well beyond the screen; they also
promote the reorganization of its logic of distribution, modes of
consumption and viewing regimes. Once, it was video and television
broadcast that disturbed traditional cinematographic experience,
revealing the image as soon as it was captured and bringing it into
the home of the audience. Nowadays, computer imaging and online
networks cause an even stronger effect to the medium, increasing the
public agency in the movie market dynamics.

In order to understand how these significant changes in the modes of
accessing and distributing moving images might affect cinematographic
experience, economy and historiography, we are obliged to rethink not
only of its future, but its past as well. Besides the Screen is a
one-day international symposium that aims to map research projects on
new and old forms of moving image distribution, exhibition and
consumption. The conference will be hosted in Goldsmiths College
(University of London) in November 2010, with the support of the
Goldsmiths Graduate School.

We invite proposals for paper presentations in the form of 250-word
abstracts, to be sent to the email besidesthescreen at gmail.com until
June 25th 2010. The list of selected works will be published online at
www.besidesthescreen.blogspot.com.

Suggested topics / themes:
?       Contemporary views of traditional exhibition venues
?       Online video archives and directories (archive.org, youtube)
?       Non-traditional distribution networks
?       Peer-to-peer and filesharing
?       Film&  video piracy
?       Transnational distribution
?       Projection-based performances (vjing/ live cinema/ etc.)
?       Market regulations (DVD distributions, release windows, ratings)
?       Contemporary and historical film societies
?       Non-commercial exhibition spaces (art galleries, outdoor
screenings, etc.)
?       Intersections between IPR, copyright&  film distribution/exhibition.

Hi,

     according to a few news reports, e.g.:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2010/jun/11/wikileaks-founder-assange-pentagon-manning

the Pentagon is after the founder of wikileaks.org for fear he may
publish some more compromising material, under the guise of national
security of course. If this is not a direct attack on journalistic
freedom then I don't know what is. We should try to raise awareness of
this issue. Perhaps Mr. Assange is in real trouble because of this and
he needs support?

YouTube Play: searching with the Guggenheim for the world?s most creative
online video


Do you ever look at a YouTube video and think, "That's a work of art?"
Yep, so do we?and now, so does the Guggenheim.

In five years, YouTube has redefined media culture by changing the way the
world creates, distributes and watches video. Online video is exploding
not just as a medium, but as an art form, and we?re proud of the
originality and innovation that YouTube has fostered among our users. Our
community has produced some of the most creative and celebrated works on
the Internet, videos that have been viewed by millions of people around
the world.

We want to celebrate phenomenal video-makers and recognize the creative
potential of the medium. So today we?re collaborating with the Guggenheim
Museum to discover the most creative video in the world, and showcase
exceptional talent working in the ever-expanding realm of digital media:
YouTube Play: A Biennial of Creative Video. This global online initiative
is presented in collaboration with HP.



We?re looking for animation, motion graphics, narrative, non-narrative, or
documentary work, music videos and entirely new art forms?creations that
really challenge the world?s perceptions of what?s possible with video. We
want to elevate the debate. This presentation, we hope, will garner some
of the finest creative work from every corner of the globe?not only to
showcase it on one of the biggest stages online, but also in one of the
most iconic artistic venues in the world, the Guggenheim Museum in New
York City, and throughout the Guggenheim network of museums in Bilbao,
Venice and Berlin.

Participants must submit their videos to YouTube Play to enter. The
deadline for submission is July 31, 2010, after which the Guggenheim will
assemble a shortlist to be evaluated by an international jury of experts
from the worlds of art, design, film and video. Up to 20 videos will be
presented at the Guggenheim Museum in New York on October 21, with
simultaneous presentations at the Guggenheim museums in Bilbao, Venice and
Berlin. The presentations will also be viewable to on the YouTube Play
brand channel at youtube.com/play.

As we did with the YouTube Symphony Orchestra, we hope to build an
aspirational place for some of the world?s best artists to showcase their
works and talents. For more information about how to enter, go to
youtube.com/play.

The Guggenheim?s YouTube Exhibition Play Challenged From The Outset
POST BY PADDY JOHNSON

How out of touch can the art people get? The Guggenheim?s launching a  
new YouTube Biennial dubbed Play for two days this October and the  
museum?s curators have named themselves the web experts and chief  
video selectors. ?We?re looking for things we haven?t seen before?  
Nancy Spector, the deputy director and chief curator of the Guggenheim  
Foundation told The Times last week, as if the staff spent most of  
their hours on YouTube. I have a hard time believing the Guggenheim?s  
secretly spent the past decade beefing up on the various web memes and  
amateur videos trafficked across the web. How will the museum?s  
curators be able to recognize a remade meme from years past without  
that experience? How will they be able to spot various web references?  
If the ability to locate art historical citation within art work is  
important, surely an equally rich background in the web is essential.  
[UPDATE: SS asks why assume the videos will have anything to do with  
web culture. They may not, but if they do it won't be spotted by  
staff. Also, the opportunity missed here is all the work that's out  
there to be found].

So far, art media has been predictably myopic in its discussion of the  
announced. Dean of Yale University School of Art, and famed art  quote  
churner Robert Storr told  the Times Carol Vogel what he thought of  
the exhibition, ?Hit-and-run, no-fault encounters between curators and  
artists, works and the public, will never give useful shape to the art  
of the present nor define the viewpoint of institutions.? His  
statement is predictably out of touch with contemporary culture, but  
also not overly relevant. In this instance he?s not an art world  
gatekeeper (contrary to NYMagazine critic Jerry Saltz), just a  
prominent voice with an ill-informed opinion.

The real problem is the museum?s untrained staff, now charged with  
identifying 200 outstanding videos from thousands. According to their  
website, a jury of ?experts,? (distinguished artists, filmmakers,  
graphic designers, and musicians) will select up to 20 videos from the  
museum?s initial picks. It?s anyone?s guess who they?ll select ?  
hopefully they?ll opt for those with web-expertise ? but before they  
get to that stage, I hope they?ll consider working with professionals  
who can give them some guidance. Here are a few names:

Andrew Baron: Founder of Rocketboom, Magma, and Know Your Meme amongst  
other video and meme based websites. Baron holds a Master of Fine Arts  
from Parsons University.

Rex Sorgatz: Founder of Kind of Sorta Media, and former Executive  
Producer of MSNBC.com. Runs the blog fimoculous. Sorgatz has a Masters  
of Digital Media from the University of Washington and has a working  
knowledge and interest in Fine Art.

Joanne McNeil: A renaissance woman of all things Internet. Founding  
editor of the Tomorrow Museum.

Tom Moody: A well known artist and fine art blogger who?s spent the  
last ten years scouring the web for engaging visual material.

Lauren Cornell: Executive Director of Rhizome and Adjunct Curator for  
the New Museum.

Jonah Paretti: Founder of Buzzfeed, The Huffington Post, and  
Contagious Media. Worked at Eyebeam Art and Technology Center from  
2000-2005 and has exhibited at the New Museum (though he does not  
consider his work ?art?).

Camille Paloque-Berges: PHD Candidate  and Teaching Assistant in  
Information Science and Communication at the Laboratoire Paragraphe  
(Universit? Paris 8 Vincennes-Saint Denis). A web connoisseur of the  
highest degree.

Why assume videos shared via YouTube would necessarily have anything  
to do with Internet culture and ?web memes??

If the Guggenheim?s open call involved artists mailing in DVDs  
instead, would you expect the judges to have expertise about the  
postal  system?

SS // 16 Jun 2010, 1:17 pm
	?
I meant to qualify that assumption in the post, so thanks for pointing  
it out. They don?t necessarily. I guess my feeling is that there?s a  
lot of stuff out there to be found as well as those who might submit,  
so their call really only engages a fraction of the audience it could.

The whole things smells like ?American Idol? to me. Are we already

Paddy, the link is broken on the Times story. SS?s ?would you expect  
the judges to have expertise about the postal system?? question, while  
sarcastic, gets to whether YouTube is just a delivery system for  
?video art? or whether it?s a culture unto itself that curators  
should  be learning about. The involvement of the YouTube p.r.  
department and Hewlett-Packard, which according to the Times, is  
collaborating on the project ?to teach skills like editing, animation  
and lighting to the video-na?ve? (yuck) suggests YouTube is being  
thought of in its original, intended, non-vernacular sense as a place  
for video ?new talent.? But as William Gibson said, ?the street finds  
its own uses for things? and right now it seems to me YouTube is being  
used mostly as a substitute iTunes, with people posting their favorite  
obscure song with a single still image for the consideration of the  
site?s talkative commenters. Likely this and other ?pirate? uses of YT? 
such as OAVs or ?original anime videos? featuring anime clips recut  
with new music?will not be considered.

Momus spent May taking a break from the book he's writing about Japan  
to write and record his 2010 album, Hypnoprism, due to be released in  
the US and Europe (via labels American Patchwork and Analogue Baroque)  
on September 27th 2010. The album will feature on its cover Diamond  
Eye, a painting by New York-based Japanese artist Misaki Kawai.

The "hypnoprism" of the title is YouTube, a sort of hypnotic musical  
prism, the source of much of the inspiration for this album, and even  
some of the sounds. Hypnotised by watching his favourite music videos  
on YouTube, Momus made songs aspiring to the same qualities -- that  
mysterious catnip which makes you want to play a pop song over and  
over, and commit it to memory -- then immediately made videos for them  
and posted them. As a result, the whole album is available right now  
as a YouTube playlist.

Pakistan set to ban more web blasphemy
Yahoo!, Google, Amazon, Bing...
By Rik Myslewski

Pakistan announced Friday that it will monitor Yahoo, Google, MSN,
Hotmail, YouTube, Amazon, and Bing, and will block links and content that
it deems anti-Islamic.

"If any particular link with offensive content appears on these websites,
the [link] shall be blocked immediately without disturbing the main
website," Pakistan Telecommunication Authority spokesman Khurram Mehran
told the Associated Press.

In addition to the link-blockage of the seven named high-traffic sites,
Pakistan web-watchers have also completely blocked 17 lesser sites,
including, for example, Islam Exposed, which includes links to blaspheming
articles such as "Muhammad, A Symbol Of Terrorism" along with over-the-top
posts such as "Joe Lieberman Spews Excrement!".

The monitoring and blockage comes in response to a court order, as did
Pakistan's recent ban on Facebook due to its hosting of an "Everybody Draw
Mohammed Day" page ? a page that was subsequently taken down, although
Facebook officials claimed to have had no part in its removal.

The complete banning of Facebook was lifted after censorship official
Najibullah Malik was satisfied that the site had lifted all all
"sacrilegious material".

In addition to the Facebook ban, Pakistan last month blocked, then
unblocked YouTube for depictions of the prophet Muhammad, a practice that
many Muslims find blasphemous.

"We decided that this kind of information was going to hurt people's
feelings. We have directed the [Pakistan Telecommunications Authority] to
block all and any sites that display those caricatures," Malik told The
Guardian at the time of the YouTube ban.

The Guardian, reporting on internal controversy surrounding the YouTube
ban, quoted one Pakistani tweeter as tweeting: "Way to go assholes. Why
don't you just cut us off from the internet and get it over and done
with."

Despite lifting the Facebook and YouTube bans, Pakistan hasn't given up
its censorship efforts. "At least 800 individual web pages and URLs have
been blocked since the government's orders to shut Facebook and YouTube,"
Wahaj us Siraj, a spokesman for the Internet Service Providers Association
of Pakistan (ISPAK), told AFP.

In perhaps the most bizarre development in the country's campaign to
remove blasphemy from its interwebs, Pakistan's Deputy Attorney General
recently launched a criminal investigation against Facebook founder and
CEO Mark Zuckerberg for his role in the "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day"
dust-up.

Although no charges have been filed in the case, the Pakistani newspaper
The News International reports that the law that prompted the Zuckerberg
investigation, Section 295-C of the penal code, carries with it penalties
of "death, or imprisonment for life".

Not all Pakistanis, of course, are in support of their government's
draconian crackdown on what Section 295-C refers to as "Use of derogatory
remark etc, in respect of the Holy Prophet ... either spoken or written,
or by visible representation, or by any imputation, innuendo, or
insinuation, directly or indirectly."

"It's absurd," journalist and filmmaker Hasan Zaidi told The Guardian.
"They haven't thought this through. The logical conclusion is that we
should shut our eyes, stick our fingers in our ears and ban the entire
internet, even email."

Nadeem Paracha of Pakistan's Dawn news service wrote in his "Smokers'
Corner" column: "By continuing to tolerate a psychotic faith-based fringe
for so long, we have actually helped it metamorphose into an unrestrained
monster that has zero tolerance for what we think or do." The problem,
Paracha told The Guardian, is that "Anything to do with Allah, or the
prophet, and everyone keeps quiet."

And it must also be noted that the more extreme members of the Muslim
world aren't alone in taking angry offense at what they perceive as
"blasphemy". Remember, for example, the hue-and-cry that resulted from
artist Chris Ofili's elephant dung?encrusted The Holy Virgin Mary, or the
attacks on the US National Endowment for the Arts over works such as
Andres Serrano's photograph, Piss Christ.

But, to be fair, we must also note that neither Ofili nor Serrano were
subject to a possible government-sanctioned death sentence.

http://thesmoothandthestriated.wordpress.com/



On Sunday July 11, the University of Amsterdam and the University of  
Utrecht present a debate about the relationship between art, science  
and philosophy in collaboration with Nieuw Dakota. In the context of  
the exhibition The Smooth and The Striated (2 July? 1 August) in Huize  
Frankendael and Nieuw Dakota, philosophers and artists will reflect  
upon difference and similitude in the ways in which various  
disciplines of practice and thought attempt to describe or interpret  
our world. The Smooth and The Striated (2 July ? 1 August) is an event  
within the framework of the Third International Deleuze Studies  
Conference, hosted by the University of Amsterdam and the University  
of Utrecht, which invites scholars to reflect on the ideas of the  
renowned twentieth century philosopher Gilles Deleuze.

What is the history and philosophy of art?s relation to research? In  
their celebrated essay ?The Smooth and The Striated?, Gilles Deleuze  
and F?lix Guattari write about our apparent human desire to make  
various processes and environments comprehensible by means of  
delineating, quantifying and measuring; at the same time, they  
emphasize the ways in which our world resists these attempts at over- 
coding and hierarchization. In art academies worldwide, the work of  
Gilles Deleuze has functioned as fertile ground for architects,  
musicians, Dj?s, Vj?s, filmmakers, sculptors and painters in their  
explorations and critical thinking, in the context of larger  
structural changes to education and pedagogy. The merging and  
exchanges of art, science, and philosophy in Deleuze?s work has become  
an inspiration to many and resulted in new practices, research, and  
experiments.  It is in this context that a new Bachelor-Master (BAMA)  
structure has been introduced in the Netherlands over the last couple  
of years, in line with international trends, creating ways for artists  
to pursue Ph.D. programs. The Universities of Leiden, Utrecht, and  
Amsterdam, for example, are creating?in some cases in collaboration  
with art schools and art funding organizations? specific trajectories  
for artistic PhD?s. Within the curriculum of these new artistic  
research programs, the boundaries between different disciplines vary:  
their emphasis might be tailored to the work of art as final piece  
(practice based research); in other cases it is the research that is  
central (artistic research). The debate will discuss the question and  
problem of defining ?research? and reflection, and will take place at  
Nieuw Dakota.

For this event, a variety of artists and theorists are invited to come  
together to discuss the convergence of different disciplines, both  
within their daily practices, and in relation to recent  
transformations in he educational system over the last couple of  
years. The discussion will be loosely grouped around the following  
statements that are composed to serve as a provocative frame and  
launch for the debate.

? Art, science, and philosophy need each other.

? Institutions should not try to guard disciplinary specificity, but  
should instead refuse to distinguish between the realms of philosophy,  
art, and science. In this way, truly interdisciplinary work can develop.

? Artistic research is a new branch of research in between  
universities and art academies that should be embedded into the domain  
of scientific research.

The debate will provide a platform to question and revisit the  
identification and separation of disciplines, and  to elaborate upon  
the different languages, conceptual borrowings, similarities and  
differences of practice between art, science and philosophy.

YouTube 'professor' teaches the world - from his bedroom
by Lisa M. Krieger San Jose Mercury News
http://azstarnet.com/news/national/article_1b79b325-ded4-5e67-b6e1-ce86bd374a06.html


SAN JOSE, Calif. - From a tiny closet in Mountain View, Calif., Sal Khan
is educating the globe for free.

His 1,516 videotaped mini-lectures - on topics ranging from simple
addition to vector calculus and Napoleonic campaigns - are transforming
the former hedge fund analyst into a YouTube sensation, reaping praise
from even reluctant students across the world.

"I'm starting a virtual school for the world, teaching things the way I
wanted to be taught," explains Khan, 33, the exuberant founder and sole
faculty member of the nonprofit Khan Academy, run out of his small ranch
house, which he shares with his wife and infant son.

Khan has never studied education and has no teaching credentials. His
brief and low-tech videos, created in the corner of his bedroom, are made
with a $200 Camtasia Recorder, $80 Wacom Bamboo Tablet and a free copy of
SmoothDraw3 on a home PC.

But every day, his lectures are viewed 70,000 times - double the entire
student body of UC Berkeley. His viewers are diverse, ranging from rural
preschoolers to Morgan Stanley analysts to Pakistani engineers. Since its
inception in 2006, the Khan Academy website has recorded more than 16
million page views.

At a time when conventional education is under stress, his project has
caught the attention of educators and venture capitalists such as John
Doerr, who just invested $100,000 to help pay Khan's salary.

Jason Fried, CEO of tech company 37signals, said he invested in Khan's
nonprofit because "the next bubble to burst is higher education. It's too
expensive. It's too much one-size-fits-all. This is an alternative way to
think about teaching - simple, personal, free and moving at your own
pace."

With a computer science degree from the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology and an MBA from Harvard, Khan settled into a lucrative position
at Sand Hill Road's Wohl Capital Management, while his wife studied
medicine at Stanford.

Then, his young cousin Nadia started struggling in math. In afternoon
long-distance conference calls to Louisiana, Khan taught her "unit
conversions" using Yahoo Doodle as a shared notepad. He wrote JavaScripts
to generate random algebra problems.

Soon Nadia's brothers and other far-flung family members wanted help, too.
Frustrated by scheduling tutoring sessions around work, soccer schedules
and different time zones, he simply posted his talks on YouTube.

"Then somebody searched YouTube for 'greatest common divisor,'" he said
with a laugh. Web traffic now soars 10 percent a month.

His approach is learn-as-you-go. Students can start anywhere in the
curriculum. Stumped? Simply stop the video and repeat. He's off camera and
conversational. Lessons are bite-size. The modules offer immediate
feedback - what's right, what's wrong. There's conceptual progression.

Some lessons - in math, computer science and physics - are spontaneous, as
Khan works from memory. Other topics, such as cellular respiration or the
Haitian revolution, are more scripted. He immerses himself in material,
roaming the aisles of the used bookstore BookBuyers. When stuck on a
question, he calls experts.

"I just ponder things, until they're clear," he said.

So clear that Felix Thibodeau, 11, of Wilmington, N.C., can enjoy math.

"I think he rocks. I'm studying pre-algebra and I love it," he said in an
e-mail message to the San Jose Mercury News.

It's not possible to verify the accuracy of each video. But in their
testimonials, students say Khan helped them master the material -
particularly math.

"I learned more about calculus in the last few hours than in the whole of
the last semester at university," said Derek Hoy, majoring in geological
science/geophysics at Australia's University of Queensland. "I was almost
ready to change majors, because I wasn't understanding a lot of the
content but am now up to speed."

Khan laughed. "I'm the 'Dear Abby' of math problems. But if you understand
something, shouldn't you be able to explain it? Isn't that the whole
point?"

Sal Khan's topics include math, chemistry, physics, biology, finance and
history. Several modules cover material in the California Standards Test
in Algebra I and II.

Message-ID: <E6BC8A3D-FBD7-4773-8330-51BEB485645F@xs4all.nl>

Dear all,

for those who want to book early, apply for travel grants etc. we're  
now preparing a next Amsterdam event on Friday/Saturday March 11/12  
2011, most likely to be held in the Trouw building, here on  
Wibautstraat. There will be a workshop and a Video Vortex steering  
committee that Thursday.

The conference will be part of our two year SIA/RAAK Publiek Culture  
Vortex research project that we are doing with a range of (Dutch)  
partners.

The second Video Vortex reader will be out a few weeks/months before  
that.

Writing it down in your diary and contact us (through the list is also  
good) if you have proposals!

Best, Geert
