This is a major part of the
Festival, and will take on a feeling of a symposium itself.
We want to create and educate...from the garage and from
inside the digital paradigm shift
we want to BRAINSTORM NEW
IDEAS...and see if we can create while we educate...
We'll add many panel and subject
over the coming months. Some will be created around
the individuals that we bring to these discussions and talks
with them prior to the festival, so as to create subjects
relevant to them, and from suggestions in our festival
social networking system...
Some of these will take on the
boundary of the panel itself, many will be
discussed inside a number of panels
and some panels will discuss a
number of these realms of thought.

cultural
phenomenon,
it has
already happened."
