Virtual Civics

Posted a new video today from the MacArthur Foundation events in Second Life on Virtual Civic Liberties with legal professor Jack Balkin speaking with Jonathan Fanton. Hosted by USC with Global Kids, filmed by yours truly.

The post-event discussion on the practicality of these discussions for growing future communities was fruitful on all sides. We all agree that we need measurable goals and documentable material along with community dialogue; the emergence of these new media come new questions on how to best handle issues of governance and community process.

It’s the wild west all over again and you’ve got a front row seat — come join In Kenzo for another round of etheric civic engagement.
