It is the product of an internalized intimate process and active learning.

Title: IN THE SWEET BYE & BYE: Migration and Transformation of Concept and Form
Fri 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM
Spitzer 211
Topic/X-cutting theme: Education, Modeling & Simulation
Description: IN THE SWEET BYE & BYE Notes on Development and Process: IN THE SWEET BYE & BYE is a multi-modal fusion of visual art, literature, and immersive digital media, manifesting as a gallery installation, on-line environment in Second Life, and bound print portfolio. It is an evocation of African-American personal/familial/communal narratives and allegories, in words and distinctive interpretive visual compositions. It is a hymn of nuanced harmonies and discords; a blending of voices sweet and rough. It is a trans-generational memoir, illuminating paths we walk, stories we’ve been told, and the dream-places we haunt. It is a continuation of my four decades of art-making and research, and my creative collaborations with poet/novelist Dorothy Mallory Jones, my mother (LISSEN HERE!, book 2004, and The Trouble I’ve Seen, broadcast video 1976). IN THE SWEET BYE & BYE is a dialogue between traditional and contemporary creative and cultural practice. It is composed of poetic and narrative text, digital paintings, photo-collage, animations, soundscapes, and immersive virtual environments. Themes and threads of the work are derived from personal and family memoirs, and African-American/Diaspora oral traditions. The 2D, 3D and animation compositions are my original work, and archive of photo, film, video and graphic imagery, dating to the late 19th century, and spanning the planet. IN THE SWEET BYE & BYE will speak to diverse audiences, through the breadth and depth of its content, and the three modes of presentation. Each presentation mode (installation, web, book) of IN THE SWEET BYE & BYE transposes and interprets the source material into distinctive form, exploiting the particular capabilities and character of the mode. Each is a stand-alone experience, yet complimentary to the other modes. IN THE SWEET BYE & BYE is a process of migration and transformation of concepts and designs through technologies, and temporal terrains. B&B SL: An Immersive Memior Developing IN THE SWEET BYE & BYE in Second Life (B&B SL) began mid Jan 07. It marks the paradigm shift in vision. It begins the migration of source material and core expressive intentions, and transformations of concepts and ideas, as I investigate designing in/for this dynamic immersive environment.

Topic/X-cutting theme: Digital Communications/Strategic Doing
Description: Repurposing and Monetizing Existing Content – Many organizations are sitting on untapped value in old video footage, R&D content and other valuable information. These untapped assets can be transformed and even monetized through a “content conversion” process that enables their use as “New Media”. Existing content can be converted to realize educational, promotional, or informational value and generate direct or indirect revenue. We’ll discuss the process and show actual examples. In a world where YouTube is a billion dollar asset, it’s time organizations get out their old media and jump in.

Topic: The Emerging Economics of Open Source Software
Fri 9:00 AM - 10:45 AM
Stocker Cinema Hall
Topic/X-cutting theme: Social Software Technologies, Social Networks
Description: Open Source developers have, perhaps without conscious intent, created a new and surprisingly successful economic paradigm for the production of software. Examining that paradigm can answer a number of important questions. It's not immediately obvious how Open Source works economically. Probably the worst consequence of this lack of understanding is that many people don't understand how Open Source could be economically sustainable, and some may even feel that its potential negative effect upon the proprietary software industry is an overall economic detriment. Fortunately, if you look more deeply into the economic function of software in general, it's easy to establish that Open Source is both sustainable and of tremendous benefit to the overall economy. Open Source can be explained entirely within the context of conventional open-market economics. Indeed, it turns out that it has much stronger ties to the phenomenon of capitalism than you may have appreciated. Join us for a dynamic presentation.
