I wanted to let you know about a special discussion I'll be leading during the opening week at The Angelika in NYC of award-winning Sundance documentary “CONNECTED: An Autoblogography about Love, Death & Technology,” directed by Tiffany Shlain <https://plus.google.com/111478439486714402941> . I was asked to host the discussion after the Wednesday 7:15pm screening, and decided to talk about how the current evolution of media has led to a revitalization of direct democracy, ranging from the Arab Spring to the Occupy Wall Street protests. The event is part of a line-up of speakers all week. If you can't make it to my screening, by all means come this weekend (opens Friday) during opening weekend, or any other time next week, if you're in New York or nearby. Please let your students know.
