Re-imagining media and the arts as a public service:
Art remains among the most preserved of all human achievements, displayed throughout the world in its museums both physical as well as virtual. From its earliest iterations, what we now call the internet was intended to bring communication and the exchange of ideas and information to an ever-growing non-location based community.
As the network continues to evolve, and splinter into several non-overlapping systems, the need for a localized approach is greater than ever.
The arts has served as a method of traversing cultural barriers and geo-political ideologies and has been the bleeding-edge of innovation in both thought as well as practice.
How can we leverage the enormous potential of the current media tools and the distribution and communication possibilities of those who have access to online experiences?
How can media benefit from the forward-thinking experimental model that art cultivates and preserves?
It is time to re-imagine both how mass pop culture and the more esoteric niche practices in the arts build bridges between seemingly different communities and belief systems.
