A few Fridays ago, I attended the UNC C.H.A.T. festival (http://www.chatfestival2010.com/)

The Student Project Exhibition at the CHAT Festival showcased the future of digital media authorship in higher education. Are we ready?

CHAPEL HILL -- What will schools look like decades from now? Most likely, they will not teach students to specialize in a field, to perform an assembly-line task, or to answer multiple-choice tests. 

Michael Weschs talk at the CHAT Festival opened my eyes to how little I know about the internet.

This is a short montage of exhibitions from the 2010 CHAT Festival, held at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill from February 16-20.

Below are my notes from the CHAT festival discussion Art and Culture of the DJ.

The Bathysphere, "an underwater opera and an interactive game: a musical narrative in which the audience triggers events," is installed as part of the CHAT festival at UNC this week.
