[Rumori] Invitation to Culture Jamming Panel at H.O.P.E.

[Pan Goat]

Hi folks,

Below is an invitation I've sent out to various folks in the culture  
jamming community. I'm posting this here because we could still use a  
few more folks. If you have a way to get to NYC and you have something  
to contribute regarding the history/use of Culture Jamming, please  
consider joining us.

thanks,

Pan

Hello,

	From July 18 - 20 2008, 2600 Magazine will be hosting The Last  
H.O.P.E. Conference at the Hotel Pennsylvania in New York City. The  
conference features presentations, panel discussions and workshops for  
those interested in hacking, security, culture jamming and the general  
exploration of technology.

	As part of the festivities, Sensory Research will be presenting a  
session on Culture Jamming and its intersection with technology,  
public participation, activism and creativity. The session will  
include brief explanations from each of the panel members about their  
work, then a larger discussion about the implications of culture  
jamming. The session will end with a question-and-answer period with  
the conference attendees. The entire session is expected to last 1.5  
hours. The particular date for the session will depend on the  
schedules of those on the panel.

	Sensory Research would like to extend an invitation for you to join  
us on the panel for our session. Your work has been valuable to the  
culture jamming community and we feel it would be integral to the  
discussion at the conference. There is no money being offered for  
participation. However, Sensory Research may be able to contribute a  
little bit of money towards air fare for those outside the NYC area.  
We hope that this opportunity to speak in front of one the largest  
conference audiences in the U.S. to spread the word about culture  
jamming will be sufficient to bring you to New York. This will be the  
last HOPE conference at the Hotel Pennsylvania and it will go down in  
history as a very important event. The entire conference is recorded.  
So, the materials from our session can be used for your various  
projects as well. Most importantly, we have the opportunity to turn on  
many young minds to the value of culture jamming as art and social  
commentary.

	For more information about the H.O.P.E. conference, please see this

	Please let me know if you wish to participate in the session and/or  
if you have any questions. I'm very excited about this event and hope  
that you can make it out to join us.

sincerely,

Pan
