DESCRIPTION:The cell phone is at the same time a talking drum, a device to amplify oral 
 traditions, and a surveillance tool, which inscribes any SMS, video, voice 
 or location into the permanent databases of service providers and other, 
 third parties. Cell phones are big business because they are tools of 
 liberation and surveillance at the same time. The individual gains 
 expressive freedom, and the powers that shape our communities gain data. 
 This data about daily habits and trajectories may play a role in predicting 
 human activity, which, on one hand, may help us achieve better collective 
 welfare. On the other hand, according to MC Hammer, we may have to 
 deprogram (Oakland Local interview with Cecil Brown), and learn what, 
 beyond information, makes life precious. Music is another point of contact 
 for oral and literal traditions, as Too Short explains in his interview 
 with Dr. Brown.\n\nThe 101010 conveners are Dr. Cecil Brown and Prof. Greg 
 Niemeyer. The main sponsor and organizer is the Berkeley Center for New 
 Media. 101010 is happening from noon to 6 PM at the Eastside Arts Alliance 
 in Oakland, CA. You can get to the Alliance by barting to the Fruitvale 
 BART station and walking north for a mile on International 
 Boulevard.\n\n101010 is a conference organized by Greg Niemeyer and Cecil 
 Brown at the UC Berkeley Center for New Media, free and open to the 
 public.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2010/09/12/18658534.php
