To: plugincinema at yahoogroups.co.uk

  Plugincinema's Ana Kronschnabl has been invited to speak on a round
table discussion with author Andrew Keen as part of the Watershed
Media Centre's 25th Birthday Celebrations. The event asks, "What does
the growth of the web mean for consumption of culture and for
organisations like Watershed?" it features self-proclaimed 'antichrist
of Silicon Valley' Andrew Keen, author of recent web 2.0 polemic 'The
Cult of the Amateur - How Today's Internet is Killing Our Culture and
Assaulting Our Economy'. Keen, who maintains a blog himself, argues
the web is inhabited by second-rate amateurs deluging us with
'everything from uninformed political commentary, to unseemly home
videos' - and that the rise of blogs, wikis, social networking sites
and podcasts - are swiftly destroying our culture. To cyberspace
enthusiasts, Keen isn't just a heretic, he is an apostate, himself a
pioneering dotcom entrepreneur who some see as embittered by the
failure of his start-up company. Keen will discuss the implications of
his thinking, the impact of the web on culture and consumption and
views on the future. The event is at the Watershed in Bristol, Fri 7th
September at 7pm.
