Digital Conversations Forum goes live
The Glass House, in partnership with the MFA Interaction Design Department of the School of Visual Arts, has launched a new interactive web forum to continue Philip Johnson and David Whitney's legacy of the "longest-running salon in America." In 2008 and 2009, Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope sponsored Glass House Conversations, an invitation-only series that brought together influential cultural leaders to explore topics, such as “The Power of Place,” “Attention Span,” or “Trophy."
Now you can join the conversation. Each week a moderator—many of whom are drawn from the 2008-2009 series—hosts a question, and people worldwide have a chance to participate in a new dialogue. Each on-line conversation runs up to five days, and after comments have closed a “Final Word” is chosen from the replies.
This week, Steven Heller asks, "What are the legal and ethical lines in the sand with regard to intellectual property and images? In your experience, what is appropriate appropreiation?" We invite you to join the Conversation.
