Matthew de Kersaint Giraudeau: Lan Gwuhj Geimz, seminar #2: Broadcasting and Status

As part of Matthew de Kersaint Giraudeau’s artist commission with Open School East, He presents three online seminars about communication on the internet.

In the second seminar we will look at the different broadcasting models that govern the rules of transmission for different media. From traditional media’s ‘one-to-many’ model, to the ‘many-to-many’ model of social media. We will think through the implications for status relationships in these models, is ‘one-to-many’ broadcasting always authoritarian, and does ‘many-to-many’ deliver the equality it seems to promise?
