IDEAS FESTIVAL
"Tele-Community"
July 23-25
Telluride, Colorado
The Telluride InfoZone is a pilot project for broad spectrum community
development and education in rural areas, using information and
telecommunications technologies. It is being planned as a pragmatic
answer to real issues facing this place, and as a test-bed for systems,
services, and the long range social, economic and cultural implications
of "telecommunities" in our "information society".
This summer, the Telluride Institute eighth annual Ideas Festival will
focus on "Tele-Community". On the weekend of July 23-25, the ideas
Festival will host face to face discussions and teleconferences on the
difficult issues: the politics, economics, technological, social and
cultural implications of "Tele-Community."
--------------------
(TELE-)CONFERENCE PRESENTATIONS, PANELS, AND ONLINE EXCHANGES:
As government and corporate interests form alliances and position
themselves to create a new National Information Infrastructure, there is
a growing movement among regional and local communities and dedicated
individuals to shape a more humane, socially serving direction for our
tele-media-ted future. Participate in this vital conversation and help
promote an ecology of the information environment.
Technical Considerations: networks, hardware, software, standards.
Applications and Implications: political realities; cultural
uncertainties; economic opportunities; social responsibilities.
Break-out work sessions will be held on critical public policy and
access issues. Featured presentations include:
Information Economics 101: The pay-per society
Civic Networking: From information highways to home-town
tele-communities.
Science and the nets: The humane Genome Project (information mapping)
Virtual Publishing: The medium is changing; what is the message?
Native Nets: Talking drums on-line
Colorado Initiatives: Setting the agenda
DEMONSTRATIONS AND WORKSHOPS
Join us in initiating the Telluride InfoZone, providing local access
Internet connection to the world, and broadband community net services.
Sample developing technologies and explore some of the many on-line
applications and communities.

cultural centers around the world - featuring the Electronic Cafe
