Autonomedia

New York City will become the epicenter of the media democracy movement this February, when hundreds of journalists, scholars, artists, and organizers gather to discuss how to strengthen and expand the city’s vibrant network of independent media.
The NYC Grassroots Media Conference, which will be held February 27-29 at New School University, will feature over 40 workshops and panels conducted by more than 40 local organizations on topics ranging from video production to puppet-making; from how to start your own record label to practical ways that community media can help fight environmental racism. The goals of the weekend-long event are to promote awareness of the independent media in the city, to strengthen and unify the cityís independent media community, and to create strong bonds among community groups and local media makers.

ABC NoRio’s InterActivist Network
We seek to offer new, dissenting perspectives, and to disseminate information about news-worthy events often overlooked or misrepresented by mainstream media.
Though the issues we address will be specific to our community, our goal is to instigate both a national and international conversation concerning similar issues affecting other communities.
The InterActivist Network is a model for community action using new media and technology to invigorate notions of public dialogue; to inform current debates within our community, both local and global; and to motivate non-mediated communication between the general public and participants in news-worthy events.
Community art and activism
ABC No Rio is a collectively-run center for art and activism. We are known internationally as a venue for oppositional culture. ABC No Rio was founded in 1980 by artists committed to political and social engagement and we retain these values to the present.
We seek to facilitate cross-pollination between artists and activists. ABC No Rio is a place where people share resources and ideas to impact society, culture, and community. We believe that art and activism should be for everyone, not just the professionals, experts, and cognoscenti. Our dream is a cadres of actively aware artists and artfully aware activists.
Location One – A Converged Gallery
Location One | Manifesto
From the site:
Location One: Catalyst for Content and Convergence
This is our credo:
1. First, the Internet will be about content,
not just serve as a conduit for it. The nature of the technology changes content—not just access and distribution—with implications across the full range of artistic expression and subject matter.
2. Second, Location One is about convergence.
We are bringing together creativity along the two standards that have governed the history of human expression: the axis of expressive discipline and the axis of available technology.
3. Third, Location One is a catalyst.
We select talent, stimulate interaction, supply resources, and provide real and virtual forums. We enable things both cool and consequential to happen. New media transform artistic expression. Conventional barriers of time and distance are erased. With them depart a myriad of social, political and cultural distinctions. Access, distribution, participation become universal (and affordable).
