I am not saying that there no field relates to the digital media, like
software art, net art etc and etc. What i am saying is that a lot of
diferent cultures are suffering a process of digitalization and that
is totally diferent from a totalitárian single and not plural term
that is digital culture, worst than that only people that defende a
term like f(r)EE. Software , are they Really FREE ? What is to be FREE
? But as i say institutions and acadêmics that Still think that South
América is Latin América ...

Subject: Re: [NetBehaviour] New Digital Culture Unit @ Goldsmiths
I'd argue that there is a thing called digital culture - this is what
defines the boundaries of the digital places, spaces and media we
increasingly inhabit in the various aspects of our lives. However,
this culture is not singular but plural, with multiple dimensions
deriving from different places and demographies. So, computer gaming
culture in Korea, hacker culture in the USA, smart phone culture in
Tanzania, for example, are all distinct. A really useful writer to
read, although working in a very different context, is Olivia Garcia,
with her work on pluriliteracy. She articulates how different forms of
cultural engagement demand distinct kinds of literacy and capability -
often at the same time.
