On Sunday, September 29, 2002 from 1:00pm until 5:00pm LA Freewaves will host 2 more public panel discussions in their ongoing panel series TV or NOT TV: Discussions to Create a Mass Media Outlet for the Arts.
These next 2 panels will take place at the L.A. Central Public Library in downtown Los Angeles. Both panels are free of charge and open to the public.
LA Freewaves is currently in the middle of a series of 8 panel discussions bringing together alternative media voices, arts and culture stakeholders, technology experts, and media academics laying the conceptual and technical groundwork to launch the initial steps towards a Culture Channel by late 2003.
LA Freewaves has come to the conclusion that a dedicated source for the dissemination of contemporary arts, especially media and digital arts, is now more than an ideal. The matrix of Internet, satellite technology and affordable means of production offer an opportunity to radically reshape the ways in which people experience art.
