attending a conference in an incredibly cool historic quaker meeting house makes me very aware of my dependence on power outlets.

"create a space where all can talk and all can be heard." -@cward1e.bsky.social #IAC25

our modern culture is increasingly isolationist and disconnected but human beings crave connection and community. impactful information environments provide a culture, a community, a sense of belonging. #IAC25

"memetic culture is fundamentally participatory" @cward1e.bsky.social #IAC25

traditional institutions communicate in fixed, static channels - text based, top down, linear. current information environs are dynamic, participatory, non-linear. #IAC25

@clairewardle.bsky.social opens #IAC25 discussing the proliferation of AI generated content, online misinformation, and the loss of trust in media content.

first day of my first time at #IAC25. looking forward to what seems to be, so far, the perfect conference - small historic venue, and no concurrent sessions.
