dear yasminers,

I am happy to introduce you to a wonderful initiative we are promoting in
the south of Italy: an intensive workshop on the theories and techniques of
ubiquitous publishing, with a specific interest in the methodologies through
which it is possible to imagine and use ubiquitous technologies for local
development, creating possibilities for communities across cultures and
literacy.

The results of the workshop will be presented right after it, during a
public event featuring some of the most interesting voices in Digital
Ethnography.

All of this will take place in a wonderful setting, on the famous Amalfi
coast, in a XV century monastery in which we are setting up a sort of TAZ
academy, bringing technologies and methodologies in the too often forgotten
south of Italy, to create opportunity and promote culture and imagination in
these places, beyond the many forms of crisis which we are experiencing
today.

This is only the first of a series of initiatives which will start here and
then move nomadically across universities and other organizations, to
promote new economies, practices and methodologies, supporting critical,
scientific and experimental researches in domains that are useful for arts,
sciences, social entrepreneurship, and knowledge, education, culture.

So please consider joining in, spreading the word or, best of all, proposing
activities for the next steps of this wonderful adventure in culture and
technology.

Full press release and call for participation below: feel free to ask for
information.

all the best,
Salvatore

READ/WRITE REALITY (RWR) is an intensive and visionary workshop created to
pragmatically explore the methodological, technical and technological
possibilities offered by Ubiquitous Publishing.

A 3+1 days hands-on and minds-on program in which we will follow you through
the creation of a full ubiquitous publishing project, starting from scratch
and ending up at product release. Participants will learn the methodologies,
the conceptual and technological frameworks which will enable individuals,
organizations, companies or collectives to use ubiquitous technologies to
enact new forms of communication and expression, new business models, new
ways in which you can activate your strategies and observe their effects.
Out of the monitor, in the spaces of our cities, bodies, objects and
products.

RWR will be held on September 13-14-15+16 in Cava de' Tirreni, at the
Ostello "Borgo Scacciaventi", a beautiful setting in a 15th century building
near to the famous Amalifi Coast. The workshop will fill 3+1 days of intense
activities, visionary discussions, engaging hands-on practices, on-the-field
explorations and content-production, an "ubiquitous movida" to be
discovered, great food, wine and scenery, in contact with the rooted
traditions of the beautiful South of Italy.

During the last day (Sept. 16th) a big party and a city-wide event will mark
the achievement of your work: the result of  the RWR workshop will be
exposed in a prestigious building in the center of Cava de' Tirreni, at the
presence of internationally known academics and researchers.

experiences);

* artists, journalists, scientists and researchers (wishing to add
ubiquitous technologies to their toolset for expression, information,
