Future of Media 2010 line-up

.

This is a list of the 2010 line-up of the no less than 14 great guest lectures in my course DM2571 "Future of Media" (at that time called DM2570 Innehåll och Uttryck i Media"). The course has a new theme every year and the 2010 theme was "The Future of Music / Music of the Future".

The course was given in Swedish for the last time in 2010 and much of the information below has thus not been translated to English. The following year, 2011, the course switched to the autumn term and to the English language and was opened up also for international students. The 2010 course was furthermore given in the spring of 2010, i.e. half a year before this blog was started. This blog post was thus actually written in October 2012 and then backdated to September 2010. 

This blog post thus constitutes an attempt to briefly summarize the course 2 1/2 years after is was given. Since I was just starting to experiment with course blogs at the time, the text below is rather spotty in places - a few lecture titles have for example been "misplaced" and I have "creatively recreated" them etc.

Eight different project groups presented their visions of the future in the form of a larger (200+ persons) public presentation at the end of May 2010:

- Syntetiska artister

- Sjätte sinnet

- Musik & identitet

- Livebox

- Brainchip

- Music on d-Go

- Navigering & Filtrering

- Den anarkistiska marknaden

Some of the group names are rather cryptic - a short description of each group (in Swedish, and written at the start rather than the end of each respective project) can be found here (read the black headers, ignore the turquoise headers signifying not-chosen project topics).

Here is the subsequent, Future of Media 2011 line-up - The Future of Radio / Radio of the Future.
