http://upcoming.yahoo.com/group/2531/ Events feed for the Future Media Group on Upcoming. Tue, 19 Aug 2008 04:44:11 -0700 Upcoming 60 en-us If micro-content is here to stay, how are media owners and marketers adapting to this newly dynamised media culture?

Chinwag Live ‘On Tour’ travels to the National Hall at Olympia, where we will be hosting a follow-on session from our popular Micro Media Maze panel event held in May.

Content is being disaggregated into ever smaller pieces, to be widgetised, syndicated, and re-aggregated for multi-platform distribution by both owners and consumers at accelerating speed. Who have been the winners and the losers in this new dynamic media landscape?

Context and branding work differently in the world of feeds, mashups and aggregators. How are media owners handling this new media consumption culture? Do they need to embrace the possible lack of control for an opportunity to reach and connect with their audience?

Join us to explore how the micro content landscape is impacting digital marketing, brands and business...

This meeting will look at ways to visualise the structure of text. The two speakers bring different approaches to a similar issue:

Stefanie Posavec: "'Writing Without Words' was the project completed for my final year on the MA Communication Design course at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, London. The intention of this body of work was to explore various methods of visualising literature without using words. I wanted to find a way of communicating the complexity found in literature as well as highlight the similarities and differences in the writing styles of various authors.The structure of a novel, punctuation, parts of speech, and words per sentence were used to generate the final complex patterns.
Any piece of literature can be visualised using these approaches, but I chose to focus on the novel On the Road, by Jack Kerouac, because of its importance to me growing up in Denver, Colorado – a key city within the novel."

Piotr Michura (a doctoral student at Reading University):
"Text visualization is a term coined to describe the application of information visualization techniques to textual material. It is defined as an attempt to reveal structures of texts analyzed by computer applications and present them in a meaningful way. It allows the researcher to track patterns of data otherwise difficult to extract from the multitude of data produced by a computer. Using text mining tools the researcher can extract specific information, find unpredicted relationships or deviations from usual patterns, find gaps, and generally explore the data. The outcome is the creation, validation, or rejection of novel interpretations of literary texts. There is a constantly growing amount of textual material available for literary researchers in forms of digital archives, libraries, collections. Within the community of literary scholars dealing with these kind of resources there is a growing interest in applications able to support complex tasks, which go far beyond merely accessing, searching, and retrieving relevant documents from the collections."

LIFT is more than a conference! Beyond the opportunity to listen to some of today’s most influential minds, you can also talk during the open stage sessions or share and learn with others during a pre-conference workshop. And for the first time in 2007, LIFT+ was added to the concept. It is a living and creative platform intended to develop new ideas through active interaction between the participants.

LIFT has a simple goal: connect people who are passionate about new applications of technology and propel their conversations into the broader world to improve life and work.
