THE INTERNET AS PLAYGROUND AND FACTORY

A conference on digital labor. This looks good. Check it out.


On November 12 to 14, Eugene Lang College The New School for Liberal Arts will host an international conference, "The Internet as Playground and Factory," which will explore the meaning and changing face of labor in the digital era. For three days, more than 90 theorists, educators, artists, legal scholars, activists, students, programmers, historians, and social media experts will join to re-evaluate what constitutes unpaid labor, value, leisure, play, fun, and exploitation in an economy that is increasingly driven by the expropriation of our online activities.

This event will commence a biennial series of conferences titled, “The Politics of Digital Media.”
