About the MAK Urban Future Initiative:
The MAK Urban Future Initiative is a fellowship program funded by a major grant from the
U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Culture and Education in which cultural researchers
from diverse nations come to Los Angeles for two months to pursue a research topic
related to urban phenomena. The fellows will come from nations that are under-
represented in the Los Angeles discourse; the MAK Center will work closely with them to
create a meaningful cross-cultural exchange. The goal is to generate concepts for the
urban future by stimulating dialogue and mining both Los Angeles and international
resources.
About the MAK Center:
Established in 1994 as an alliance between the MAK Vienna (Austrian Museum of Applied
Art) and Friends of the Schindler House (FOSH) in West Hollywood, the MAK Center is
housed in the Modernist landmark R.M. Schindler House (1921-22) in West Hollywood,

The MAK Center develops local, national, and international projects exploring art,

that test disciplinary boundaries. Acting as a "think tank" for current issues, the Center
encourages exploration of experimental, practical and theoretical aspects in art and
architecture through exhibitions, lectures, performances, screenings, and publications.

About the Program
Twenty-first century digital media makers are pushing the boundaries
of collaboration and copyright, once the exclusive domain of
industry. YouTube further opened up the digital revolution by:
exploding user choice, creating a user-to-user vetting system,
allowing online users to share and mix media, and creating a culture
of mass collaboration where audiences and communities can participate
as co-creators and co-curators. YouTube's success reflects a new
force where users are the agents of social change and the creators of
cultural content.
This day long Arts Intensive will reflect on the changes being led by
digital culture. We will examine how foundations and organizations
might want to position themselves to achieve impact within the
digital cultural space. With a myriad of different speakers from
various sectors, we will contemplate many of the emerging questions
evolving from digital media and culture. (more)
