Call for online debate agents’ at symposium

On May 8, 2009, the Netherlands Media Art Institute will hold the symposium
‘Positions in flux: On the changing role of the artist and the 
institution’ in Amsterdam.
More information about the symposium: http://www.nimk.nl

The symposium will be streamed from the symposium venue, Trouw Amsterdam.

Online audiences will have the opportunity to participate in the debate 
in the online chat/debate. Through a simple interface, observers from 
around the world will be able to send questions and comments to the 
panels. These will be picked up by so-called ‘online debate agents’ and 
brought to the attention of the moderator and the local audience.

We are looking for volunteers who would like to operate as these ‘online 
debate agents’ during the conference. As such you would observe the 
online contributions during a panel and play in active role in the 
debate by outlining verbally the online contributions.
Your will cluster comments, read and describe them and pose the most 
relevant questions to the panel/moderator.

Ideally you like to take an active role in debates, you feel comfortable 
to speak in public and you have some basic knowledge of media art and 
culture. If you have some journalistic training, this is even better. 
You should be fluent in English.

Please send a short application (500 words max and CV) before April 22, 
2009 to Susanne Jaschko, susanne@nimk.nl
