Bill Wasik: Online Culture
If you've ever found yourself caught up in a sudden, public pillow fight, you can thank Bill Wasik, creator of the worldwide celebration of spontaneity, the Flash Mob. Not only did Wasik think to gather people through technology for outrageous urban stunts, but he is also plugged into our burgeoning online culture. Wasik, a senior editor at Harper's magazine and author of And Then There's This: How Stories Live and Die in Viral Culture, says the Internet isn't about making the media more like everyday people, but making everyday people more like the media: obsessed with fads, fame, breaking the story, and novelty for its own sake. Presented by the Town Hall Center for Civic Life, with Elliott Bay Book Company.
