ACE New Media seminar

September 25, 2007

Posted by Clare in: Events | Watershed | Trackback

On 12 September 2007, Arts Council England hosted a seminar at Tate Modern to discuss the opportunities, issues and challenges presented by new media and emerging technology.

Discussion ranged across many important issues including education, relationships with audiences, intellectual property and contracts, the regulatory environment, user-generated content and new distribution platforms. Watershed Managing Director Dick Penny took the stage with Anthony Lilley (Chief Executive, Magic Lantern Productions), Patrick Walker (Head of Content Partnerships, Google) and Adam Gee (New Media Commissioner, Factual, Channel 4). The panel discussed issues surrounding ‘user-generated content’ and how artists and arts organisations can engage different audiences by making use of new distribution platforms such as You Tube. A complete audio transcript of the event is available here. Or listen to Dick's session here.
