30 Years of Media Art, Activism and Analysis

PAPER TIGER TELEVISION DESIGN CHALLENGE

BEING THE MEDIA: Designing A New Rrradical Media


What is radical media? What has it been in the past? What will it be in the
future?

*Friday and Saturday, February 10 & 11, 2012*


In 1981 PAPER TIGER TELEVISION pioneered a truly radical public access
show. Its thoughtful, highly inventive media criticism challenged both the
form and content of broadcast television.  30 years later can we build upon
the ideals of the Paper Tiger collective that combine activism, critical
analysis, grassroots journalism and participatory aesthetics through a
collaborative process?
