Where I finish with the sentiment that multiple online identities should be encouraged.

From the site:

Transatlantic Network 2020 member, Zadi Diaz, discusses the future of cities, the networked world, and the benefits of managing multiple online identities.

The British Council’s Transatlantic Network 2020 programme (britishcouncil.org/​tn2020) connects young leaders from across Europe and North America who bring various cultural and social experiences together to act on global issues.

We believe bringing these future young leaders together will strengthen mutual understanding, respect and trust between both continents.

The TN2020 network focuses on three key areas: Sustainable Living; Creativity and Innovation and Building Resilience in Communities.

This week in Berlin, members from various transatlantic networks will discuss the big issues for the next decade and how they will affect the world we live in.

culturite: Gone Forever: What Does It Take to Really Disappear? With so much recent discussion about the relative permanency of our digital selves and the virtual impossibility, let alone desirability, of self-removal from the online world vs. the need to preserve our digital existences for posthumous posterity, Evan Ratliff’s remarkable 2009 project/piece/ARG, VANISH, for Wired is worth revisiting & reconsidering. Is it even a question of how to disappear completely?

ni9e: Freedom, Art & Viral Media…. in 40 mins

Evan’s brilliant Freedom, Art & Viral Media presentation at Learning Without Frontiers. It truly is worth 40 minutes of your time. On his challenge to students of his ‘Urban Hacking 101’ Class:

“Start looking at the city in a different way… looking at the city like hackers: looking for systems that repeat, looking for places they can exploit and change the meaning of.”

stevewoolf: For Web-Financed Film Projects, a Curtain Rises   Kickstarter is a concept: a Web site that puts together creative types seeking money with backers willing to chip in micro- and macro-payments, a way to crowd-source the financing of ideas. Started last year, the company has become an unexpected influence on indie culture, a new model for a D.I.Y. generation. And on Friday Kickstarter will also become a curator, when it hosts the first Kickstarter Film Festival. The event, part of the Rooftop Films series, will present some of the projects that patrons of the site have financed, from features and animation to quirkier stuff like a video of a dance anthropology performance piece.
