Upgrade! Joburg: Remote Lectures Series: Call for Proposals — Deadline: May 31, 2010.
Upgrade! Boston invites you to propose a lecture to be delivered via Skype to Johannesburg, South Africa. Email jo at turbulence dot org if you’re interested.
How will it work: Upgrade Joburg will Skype anyone anywhere to give a one hour lecture, demonstration or performance to an audience in Johannesburg. Each session will be streamed live and recorded to our podcast album for anyone to download and watch at anytime after the event.
Why: Being literally at the bottom end of the African continent, the Johannesburg digital and new media art scene needs connection and inspiration to grow, develop and learn to have a little fun.
What you get: A great opportunity to access an African audience; and if you like we will organize a lecture from Joburg to you too.
In your proposal please put forward the following:
1. Name.
2. Lecture, demonstration or performance – theme or title.
3. The month (or week) you would like to have it.
