This week we’ll be rolling out more of the vids from DIYDays NYC. In the following talk Brian Newman (former CEO of Tribecca Film Institute and founder of SpringBoard Media) gives a talk on innovation within the media space. The following is from the program.

REINVENTING INNOVATION – BRIAN NEWMAN

The future of media is being invented today, but it is increasingly being defined by the terms of the old models for media production and consumption. This is for the worse, because instead of a new era of innovation we are in danger of a new era of sameness. The future of media is not just about new distribution models and building a fancy new TV that can show 3D, pull down an endless library of content and let us chat with our neighbor about which products to buy. This is precisely what passes for visionary by those controlling the future of media now, and unless media artists take an active role in creating the future, that may be the best we get. What would true innovation look like and what are the historical models we can turn to for innovative thinking about the future of the field?
