[ISEA2006] Poster: Kenneth Fields – Chinapedia

Poster Statement

This presentation serves as a link to digital media discourse in China. As such it is not narrowly focused but highlights 3 critical avenues into a more practical discussion suggested by the nature of the ISEA2006 proposal of an Asia-Pacific Summit: censorship, creative industry and education. I see the major challenge to China in terms of its entrance into the era of read/write media. From this perspective the issues can be looked at in terms of the rocky introduction to wiki/blog culture, user created content/ production, and the use of collaborative software in education.
