Bak Kim Var? / Who's in Town? Geert Lovink in Istanbul


Please scroll down for English


Network Kültürleri

Medya teorisyeni ve eleştirmen Geert Lovink, İstanbul'daki ilk konuşmasında Institute of Network Cultures'ta (INC) yürüttüğü araştırmaları anlatacak. 

Lovink tarafından 2004'te kurulan INC, internet ve yeni iletişim mecraları ile network kültürlerine odaklı proje ve yayınlar üretiyor. Bu çalışmalar, yeni medyanın disiplinler ötesi doğası ile "Kendin yap" ve açık kaynak bileşenlerini merkez alıyor; internet ve gelişmekte olan mecraların sanatsal, politik ve teknik yönlerine vurgu yapıyor.

Taktiksel medya kavramını geliştiren teorisyenlerden Lovink'in yayımlanmış kitapları arasında Networks Without a Cause (2012), The Art of Free Cooperation (2007), The Principle of Notworking (2005) ve My First Recession (2003) bulunuyor.

Organized Networks / Network Cultures

For his first appearance in İstanbul, media theorist Geert Lovink will talk about his ongoing research at the Institute of Network Cultures (INC). A research network, established in 2004 by Lovink, INC focuses on the Internet and other new forms of media, to produce a diverse array of projects and publications with a strong emphasis on content. The field of network cultures revolves around the interaction between new forms of media, the Internet and mobile networks-- where users actively shape the technology. 

With a particular focus on the transdisciplinary nature of new media, its Do-It-Yourself (DIY) and open source components, INC/Lovink emphasizes the artistic, political and technical aspects of the Internet and other emergent media, including design, activism, art, philosophy, political theory and urban studies

Lovink was one of the key theorists behind the concept of tactical media. Among many others he has published the books Networks Without a Cause (2012), The Art of Free Cooperation (2007), The Principle of Notworking (2005) and My First Recession (2003).

2013-08 Wordpress VIP Tools for Writers & Editors - Steph Yiu

VIP Tools for Writers and Editors by Steph Yiu (@crushgear)

I built my first WordPress site in 2008. It was an online magazine with an editing workflow, multiple contributors, and featured stories on the homepage. I thought I had it all figured out — that is, until I started working at WordPress.com VIP. In the last year, I've had a glimpse into all the tools that editors use at large, national publications and the whole time I kept thinking, "Wait, why didn't I know about that before?!" In this talk, I'll share with you the plugins and tools that you can borrow to help editors and users on your site get the VIP treatment.

About the Speaker

Steph Yiu works at WordPress.com VIP, which provides hosting and support for clients like TIME, CNN, NBC, and TechCrunch. She has worked at the Chicago Tribune and America's Test Kitchen, and has interned at The Boston Globe and The Oregonian. She is also the founder of DenizenMag.com, an online magazine for Third Culture Kids. Website: http://hoppycow.com

Mediastan (2013)


For the first time ever, audiences get a behind-the-scenes insight into the world's first truly global media event: "Operation Cablerun" : the 2011 operation during which WikiLeaks ran hundreds of thousands of secret US government cables to media outlets around the world.

In Mediastan, an undercover team of journalists drives across the central Asian republics of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and into US occupied Afghanistan, before continuing its journey into the west; regrouping in Julian Assange's kitchen, ambushing the editor of the Guardian, and obtaining candid footage of the New York Times editor and its publisher Arthur Sulzberger.

"Secret History of Silicon Valley

[Recorded: November 20, 2008]

Today, Silicon Valley is known around the world as a fount of technology innovation and development fueled by private venture capital and peopled by fabled entrepreneurs. But it wasn't always so. Unbeknownst to even seasoned inhabitants, today's Silicon Valley had its start in government secrecy and wartime urgency.

In this lecture, renowned serial entrepreneur Steve Blank presents how the roots of Silicon Valley sprang not from the later development of the silicon semiconductor but instead from the earlier technology duel over the skies of Germany and secret efforts around (and over) the Soviet Union. World War II, the Cold War and one Stanford professor set the stage for the creation and explosive growth of entrepreneurship in Silicon Valley. The world was forever changed when the Defense Department, CIA and the National Security Agency acted like today's venture capitalists funding this first wave of entrepreneurship. Steve Blank shows how these groundbreaking early advances lead up to the high-octane, venture capital fueled Silicon Valley we know today.

"Are Elvish, Klingon, Dothraki and Na'vi real languages? - John McWhorter

View full lesson: http://ed.ted.com/lessons/are-elvish-...

What do Game of Thrones' Dothraki, Avatar's Na'vi, Star Trek's Klingon and LOTR's Elvish have in common? They are all fantasy constructed languages, or conlangs. Conlangs have all the delicious complexities of real languages: a high volume of words, grammar rules, and room for messiness and evolution. John McWhorter explains why these invented languages captivate fans long past the rolling credits.
