This document discusses the rave subculture and its relationship with new media technologies. It describes how ravers use email, DJs use laptops and controllers, and how the rave subculture has evolved alongside expanding media. Members seek common expression, communication, interests and participation in dance events with synthesizer-produced music arranged by "DJ techno-shamans". The subculture has grown up alongside increasing impact of ICTs and now involves massive commercial promotion on a global scale.
This paper examines the attempt, by Sunderland Community Development Network, to build a dynamic model of community knowledge sharing to assist its strategic work in the cultural renaissance of the City of Sunderland. It explores the network’s use of community space, personalised networks and knowledge-sharing spaces and analyses the success, to date, in utilising the power of meta-networks.

The evolution of the music industry with the spread of the Internet. The full paper is available here: https://www.academia.edu/359318/The_recording_industry_and_grassroots_marketing_from_street_teams_to_flash_mobs
New media have changed the relationship between the recording industry and fans. TheInternet allows fans to share copyrighted music in p2p and Web 2.0 platforms. The
recording industry has reacted mainly with ‘prohibitionist’ strategies, while cultural scholarsargue that a ‘collaborationist’ approach is needed with the aim of creating an ‘affectiveeconomy’. In this paper, I describe the strategies of the major labels to create a fanbase of
grassroots promoters. During an ethnographic research project, I identified different forms
of grassroots marketing (‘street team’, ‘flash mob’, and ‘mission’). I argue that labels try toharness ‘participative stardom’: a ‘music star’ is created thanks to transmedia strategies
(online presence and TV appearances during media events and talent shows), then labelsoutsource promotional activities to fans, rewarding them with branded products and theopportunity to meet artists.

How Technology is Changing Our Faith & Worship: Whether We Know it Or NotAdam Walker Cleaveland
So many churches today are feeling the pressure to become "relevant" and "hip" and use as much technology as possible in the midst of worship. We will discuss reasons why you should and shouldn't use new forms of media in your church's worship. We'll also look at the ways in which the technology of our times can actually not only change the practices of our churches, but our theology as well - and whether that's a good thing or not. Finally, we'll look at some examples of practical ways that you can faithfully use technology in your worship gatherings.

Presentation given by Tom Tenney, Executive Director at Radio Free Brooklyn, at the Resistance Radio symposium at UnionDocs in Brooklyn, NY in June of 2017. Preso was to accompany live talk, so several graphics are uncaptioned, but hopefully will provide an idea of the main points.
Digital Culture and the Shaking Hand of ChangeMichael Edson
The presentation shows how to create and use a "problem space" to organize complex challenges. The central metaphor for the talk is the "civic handshake" — a process by which different parts of society cooperate through the informal exchange of information and the sharing of responsibilities.

between Ravers and ends, well, continues with a Dj
performing live and sited down, after his movie
premiere and in front of thousands,
just by using a controller and a laptop».
3. “Over the past decades, the expansion of new media resources has led
to a hybrid media ecology within, amateurs, artists, activists and
other players, interact with each other in even more complex ways.
Each of these groups has the power to produce and distribute
content and each of these groups is being transformed by their new
power and responsibilities in this emerging media ecology”.
This interactive process of the individual’s construction of
identity through and with the use of the ICT seems to be a case on
the Rave Subculture – Club Culture.
A Culture highly related with the ICT in terms of advance, progress
and transformation in a constant process of “mediamorphosis”.
