[Trebor Scholz]

THE INTERNET AS PLAYGROUND AND FACTORY CONFERENCE

November 12‹14

Eugene Lang College The New School for Liberal Arts
(New York City, USA)

For three days, 100 media theorists, artists, legal scholars, activists,
students, programmers, historians, and social media experts will join to
re-evaluate what constitutes free labor, value, and play in an economy
that is increasingly driven by the expropriation of social participation
online. This event will commence a biennial series of conferences
titled, ³The Politics of Digital Media.²
