Crossroads ep001 - The Digital Dozen

Crossroads - the Columbia DSL @ the Film Society of Lincoln Center

The Columbia University School of the Arts' Digital Storytelling Lab has a new monthly podcast entitled Crossroads. A collaboration with the Film Society of Lincoln Center, Crossroads is recorded in front a live audience at the Elinor Bunin Munroe Auditorium. The monthly podcast is a mixture of talks, interviews, fireside chats and lab project updates that explore new forms and functions of storytelling. Our first episode was recorded earlier this year in front of a live audience at the Film Society of Lincoln Center. Hosted by storytelling pioneer Lance Weiler, Director of the Columbia Digital Storytelling Lab, and Frank Rose, author of The Art of Immersion and Senior Fellow at Columbia University School of the Arts, the evening included a brief presentation on the “Digital Dozen” followed by two roundtable discussions inspired by its selections. Rose leads a conversation on journalism in the digital age with Adam Moss, Editor in Chief of New York, and Bill Wasik, deputy editor of The New York Times Magazine and author of And Then There’s This. Both publications were honored in the Digital Dozen, New York for its National Magazine Award-winning interactive narrative “This Is the Story of One Block in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn” and the Times Magazine for its pioneering virtual reality report on the global refugee crisis, “The Displaced.” Lauren Cornell, Curator and Associate Director, Technology Initiatives at the New Museum and Co-curator of its highly successful 2015 Triennial, and Zach Kaplan, Director of the digital art organization Rhizome, a New Museum affiliate, then join Rose for a discussion of art and technology sparked by “Freedom,” an installation by Josh Kline that was commissioned for the Triennial and chosen by the Lab as one of its Digital Dozen.
