The new generation speaks/texts/Facebooks (but might not answer the phone)
Concordia University students kick off a discussion about tomorrow and the day after. What will their work look like? Where will it happen? How will they support their work and themselves? Do they see a path, or are they ready to forge their own? Studio 303, a place that has helped shape a generation of young performance-based artists, will host this discussion, a discussion that will undoubtedly be posted on Facebook and MySpace and will likely generate a text message or twelve being sent or received throughout it. What will tomorrow look like when today has already changed so dramatically? Can we focus our collective attention deficiency and discover a way to harness the explosion, to overcome it, or to simply live with a new and heightened sense of distraction? And if we as artists can do this, will audiences be able to join us at the table? Will there be a table?
