online communities --<span style="font-style: italic;"> hyperworlds --</span>

We are drowning in <span style="font-weight: bold;">media goo</span>

electronically
processed sounds and images. The simple story-telling arc of songs,
novels
and motion pictures has given way to entire media complexes, <span

delivered in a splintered array of media. Hyperworlds are not just a
branding
strategy of media corporations. Nearly every community, author or

<p><small><font color="#184b81"><span
style="color: rgb(24, 59, 129);">HYPERWORLDS IN THE MEDIA GOO is a
seminar for those who would like to
take a fresh look at culture in the 21st Century and find

are
building their own narratives and worlds - whether it's a novel, a
screenplay,
a documentary, a computer game, a cross-media confabulation or even an
organization with a vivid public presence. </span></font></small></p>

THE
SEMINAR EXPERIENCE </small></p>
<big> </big>
<p style="color: rgb(24, 59, 129);"><small>We invite people
from a range of disciplines to
join us in an intellectual adventure. Set on a hill in a
beautiful forest, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Hyperworlds in the
Media Goo</span> is a celebration of
existence. The front of the building floats out over pine and beech
trees offering a view of Mt. Israel and Mt. Blacksnout. Crystal clear
streams and
rivers are in
abundance in
the area. Surrounded by 5 billion years of geological and organic
evolution, half a century of digital tinkering can be placed in
perspective. </small><small> </small></p>
<p style="color: rgb(24, 59, 129);"><small>Participants are
invited to discuss their work,
lives and worlds --whether it's a novel, a computer game, an
organization or just a hunch about upgrading the incredible world we
all share. </small><small>Dinner discussions
are relished as multi-sensory art forms -resetting the bar for virtual
reality. No technology is discouraged, but keep in mind that the only
electricity at the seminar lodge comes through a single phone line. We
will be, as they say, off the grid. That's the whole idea. </small><small><span
style="font-weight: bold;">Hyperworlds in the
Media Goo</span> is fully intended to be a <span
style="font-style: italic;">mental 360</span>.</small><small> </small></p>
<p style="color: rgb(24, 59, 129);"><small>Articles and
media elements from attendees' hyperworlds will be solicited in the
Fall for </small><small>a new web-based
journal</small><small> on hyperworlds. It is hoped that new ideas and
articles will grow out of the seminar. Bring a small notebook.<br>

Fisher's media works have been exhibited in
museums and festivals around the world. He has taught the digital arts
at MIT, the Massachusetts College of Art and the University of Iowa
and lectured at New York University, Sarah Lawrence College, Bennington
College, the University of Washington and Columbia University. In 1998
he created a new digital arts program for the University of Iowa called
Digital Worlds, which he directed for three years. He has written on
media
and the arts for Art Byte, the Utne Reader, the Walker Arts Center and
the New York Council for the Arts. </font></font><font color="#184b81"><font

<p><font color="#184b81"><font size="-1">Ebon
was one of the first instructors at MIT's Media Lab where he began his
research into culture as a form of "inter-coding" between humans and
machines. His experimental media rituals in the 1990s helped to build
vital channels of communication in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, which has
grown into a thriving arts district. According to Domus Magazine, his
bionic ritual, the Web Jam, became a "symbolic climax" to the
emerging Williamsburg art scene. Newsweek dubbed Fisher's Web Jam a
"sequel to the rave." </font></font> </p>
<p><font color="#184b81"><font size="-1">Stemming
from his media rituals, Ebon developed a bionic ethics system called
Bionic Codes. These have spawned an entire digital world, Nervepool,
which provides a vivid context for his bionic ethics system. Fisher's
codes have been presented for the last six years on the Guggenheim
Museum's online CyberAtlas which documents the emergence of cyber
culture. His website has been cited as one of the "Best of the Web"
by the Encyclopedia Britannica.</font></font> </p>
