Moderators/Discussion Starters:

Videoblogging is a new medium of expression — just as oil painting, film and jazz once were. It opens up a space where none existed before, and allows us to create all kinds of new possibilities for creative expression and communication. What we do with that space – what possibilities we invent – is up to us. There’s been much talk, for example, of democratizing media but democracy is not necessarily inherent to videoblogging, it’s just one of the many possibilities that we can create in the space that’s opened up.
With so much undiscovered country before us, where do we start? What is it that we want to do? This session will take a look at videoblogging and some of the explorers who are already out there inventing this new medium, and then open up a conversation for further travel.
