Digital Directions: Conversion Planning for the Media Arts
It's coming, it's here. The digitization of our media world. Sorting through the techno-booster hype to neo-luddite hand-wringing is like dealing with earthquake preparedness here in the Bay Area. We're told that the Next Big One will strike within the next thirty years, but we can't know when or how close to home. Clearly inevitable, but hard to think about coherently on a daily basis. There is a certain amount of denial at work too, but we try to prepare the best we can, both practically and intuitively. The digitization of our media world is similar.

CHANGE
I
recently relocated from rural Pennsylvania to San Francisco, taking on
the exciting role of executive director at San Francisco Cinematheque.
Obviously, this is a huge geographical change, but it is also a return,
as I was involved with the Bay Area media arts community from 1974
until 1990. The renewal of my presence here has provoked many thoughts
for me about changes in this community. A recent Meredith Monk
performance shifted my thinking about change to the concept of
“impermanence,” which conjures images of flow, movement, and transition
as the way of life.
