W2 Community Media Arts Centre - Official Opening in Time for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics
Unfortunately, it's coming to be called the Spring Olympics .. but seriously, there's lots of snow at Whistler.
Also ... the 2101 Winter Olympics will be the first in history to have an independent media centre. The rise of social media over the last five years means that the accreditation of various people-and-purpose users of social media has been a hotly-debated issue in the months coming up to the opening of the Games.
Vancouver's new inner-city arts and media delopment W2 Community Media Arts Centre opened yesterday. One of its opening projects is the W2 Culture + Media House offered to social media users from around the world:
a 24/7 25 work-station centre for bloggers and twits and vloggers to get together, hang out, work, use high-speed broadband, co-mingle amongst people from all over the world, etc.
I'm glad to have been able to play a role in the development and evolution of this iinitiative, and these pictures tell a thousand stories.
