Cultura remota: alla ricerca degli utenti web

Presentation

Conference: Remote culture: looking for web users

We are widely discussing what it is that has changed in the Web over the last years: are wondering if a renaissance of Tim Berners Lee's original spirit of the universal net is emerging after the crisis of the end of the century. Or, perhaps, are we witnessing a new net-release - Web 2.0. In any case, we are clearly sensing a breath of fresh air on the Web.

Institutions using the Web try to follow quality standards, taking up interactive tools and building virtual communities, mostly evolving overseas. Nevertherless Italian colleagues are just as able, as our foreign colleagues to contribute to the discussion with contents and comments over all the available platforms.

we felt that this was the right moment to organise an event where experts could debate these kinds of subjects that relate to the field of cultural heritage and education, to earnestly face these new telematic challenges.

In the morning we will discuss web users from many points of view: expectations and skills, the digital born and digital emigrants, security, privacy, IPR and open access, aulity of web spaces, the role of the the blogosphere, e-learning 2.0.

In the afternoon, we will present some initiatives aiming at involving users towards CulturaItalia, the portal of Italian culture.

We will then try an experiment: in a especially designed area in Second Life where we will meet Susan Hazan, an international expert of new media with her avatar Jennifer Freund. They will both present to to share with us their experiences from the Sixth International Conference Electronic Visual Arts/MINERVA Jerusalem, speaking of cultural institutions in SL and guiding us in a teleported tour of the cultural second life in sixty minutes, together with the SL Swedish expert Kaja Lurra/Marie Rytkölä
