Integrating
the Web into Multi-Media Activism This workshop will examine the emerging technology/activism movement in the United States and discuss how the internet and other multi-media technologies have and will play a role. Participants will learn how the internet played a key role in the record setting 275,000 comments sent to the USDA in response to its proposed rule that would have allowed organic food to be genetically engineered, irradiated, or fertilized with sewage sludge. Workshop participants will also engage with the facilitator to discuss multi-media strategies concerning a new national campaign to require mandatory safety testing and labeling of genetically engineered food.

Chaos & the Web Chaos and the Web: Mathematics as Planetworker An experiential visual math workshop with Ralph Abraham and Co. This will be one long workshop, from 3:15 to 5:00 pm, but divided into three parts. We will try to keep a strict schedule to facilitate shopping among the other eight presentations overlapping this double time slot. Each segment will begin with a very short talk, then move into the chaos lab, with 8 workstations (also in Room B) devoted to a variety of web-based learning activities from visual-chaos.org. Famed web-heads Peter Broadwell and Chuck Stein will assist us in the lab. Ralph Abraham |
Hopefully
there will be a few minutes at the end for general discussion. Feel
free to come and go, or see us later at home in cyberspace. |
