playing with people and technology
a brief note on digital culture
the brief was to set up a technology space
● educate the population especially people on the
wrong side of the digital divide (ostensibly oldies
and indigenous people)
● promote the NBN and the use of broadband
community engagement
we decided to take bits of the program and offer it to groups that wouldn’t
traditionally use libraries. it’s a wide cohort offering something for everyone
and we’ve worked hard not be about how to turn ipads on for oldies
● team health (abc open / DL / websites)
● manunda terrace primary (give me your 5 worst
students)
● darwin community web hosting (8 websites)
● ntwc (liquid page)
● autism NT: thelab.org.au
● bagot community (OSHC) + bagot community store
not always easy and especially with young
audiences
like gravity without energy
they easily return to passive consumption
more traditional library projects
