[node-l] FW: Art Of Digital - London

[Simon Biggs]

It is a joke that Ekow Eshun is part of the July 17 event. He recently
trashed the ICA¹s digital programme and has shown no interest regarding
artists practice in the area. Perhaps when there is a conference on the
future of live arts he can chair that. Future? What future?

Lord Carter's  Digital Britain Report has been unleashed  - what are the
implications for the arts?

The Government has declared that this plan is key to Britain's economic
recovery. With the focus on broadband and broadcast infrastructure and legal
restrictions on file sharing, London's cultural and creative industries must
now consider how they can respond innovatively and with self-sufficiency.

Arts Council England and AmbITion bring  you 'Art Of Digital - London', a
programme of support for arts organisations in London who want to enhance
their digital strategies, use digital tools effectively and share resources.

Programme as follows:-
16 July Sadler's Wells. AmbITion Roadshow - 'Organisations 2.0, the
organisation in the Digital Age', a hands-on practical day of workshops,
case studies and masterclasses.
