Being is Becoming

Just a bit of a progress report… more substantial stuff to come soon!

Along with re-designing the website (yet again) and working on identity & positioning there are a few other things currently happening.

The first is that I’ll be speaking about “digital democracy” as part of Media Awareness Week at London’s Central Public Library. That’s November 5. There’s a promotional poster here, the library’s listing is here, and there’s more info on the content of the talk here.

Then you’ll find me trying to pull-off a somewhat more exuberantly original presentation at the SMarts (Social Media for the Arts) Conference at Museum London. That’s Saturday November 14 and there’s more info here — but I’m keeping everything to do with the talk itself very quiet for now.

There’s also a new reading group coming together in London to brainstorm & critique the practical implications of some high profile ideas pertaining to social media. I’m personally looking forward to those discussions and hope to learn not just from the books but from the collaborative experience.

Meanwhile I’m trying to put together a document — a book, hopefully — outlining the philosophical background behind all of this… Challenging but fun.

And with that you’ll see very soon some clearer descriptions of the Open Conceptual enterprise model, as well as its related practices and methodologies. Once everything is a little more formalized we can get on with really putting it into action and seeing exactly what works and what opportunities there are for improvement.

As of now there’s a lot to be done but the site should be ship-shape by the end of this weekend. Once that’s settled there will be more content coming through here — and more genuine action emanating from that.

Big thanks for your patience and support.
