The Defrag Ohio network o!ers an integrated, multi-disciplinary approach to identify and

connect Ohio resources and capabilities in

creative digital media to accelerate business

development and the formation of next generation industry clusters. Defrag quarterly conferences illuminate new research, models and projects leading business development with disruptive innovations in response to envisioning alternate futures. Unlike any other time in the history of civilization, we are required to work collaboratively as leaders and in teams to identify gateway solutions capable of the scale and interactivity needed to address critical world challenges, such as climate change, renewable energies and urban re-densification.!

During the course of the conference we will consider opportunities in five topic areas and three cross-cutting themes. Next steps will identify business opportunities leveraging the process of Strategic Doing and Web 2.0 collaborative online project development platforms. We will be joined by economic development professionals and social software practitioners guiding us in these next steps.!

The Defrag Declaration is being prepared as a discussion draft for acceptance by participants to bring attention to the important issues discussed at the April conference. The Declaration serves as a self-commitment by contributors to actively support and implement new behaviors and practices to accelerate open innovation in Ohio, and to call upon our colleagues to do the same. Send your comments and suggestions to info@i-open.org.!

We welcome you to a diverse leadership community of industry, academic and mixed media performers sharing what we do know and testing what we don't know. Defrag conferences bring innovators together to learn, connect, clarify insights and refresh perspectives! Our appreciation is extended to Lorain County Community College, the Division of Math & Science and the LCCC Foundation for its generous support and strong spirit of collaboration in hosting the Defrag Ohio Lorain conference.

“Ohio’s business development opportunities in

creative digital media. Beginning in 1997, the economic developer's view of the role of arts in an economy began to shift. The Blair government in the U.K. published an important report on "the creative industries". (Note that this development took place 4 or 5 years before Richard Florida published his book.)

The idea of treating creative industries as an important source of high income jobs began to take o". Now, you can see in the UK a wide range of urban centers that are embracing the strategy of developing creative industries. They have developed their own web site for creative industry development.

Additionally, within the UK, di"erent locations are launching their own e"orts. So, you can now visit Creative ! Edinburgh, for example. Creative !London is the most advanced of these local sites, and Creative London has recently formed a joint project with ! Toronto. Other countries including Austria, Finland, Denmark, Australia and New ! Zealand see the creative industries as a path to high value added employment. !

In June 2000, the New England Council picked up the trend when they published the report, The!Creative!Economy!Initiative:!The!Role!of!Arts!and!Culture!in!New!England’s!Economic!Competitiveness. With their partners, they have launched the Creative !Economy ! Initiative. More recently, Providence, home of the Rhode Island School of Design, has adopted creative industries as a core of their economic development strategy. Savannah's ! Creative ! Coast and the Charleston!Digital!Corridor represent other local e"orts to capitalize on this emerging opportunity. Earlier this month, Los Angles released its report on the creative industries. !

The fastest growing segment of the "creative industries clusters" comes with "creative digital media" or "rich digital media". It stands to reason. Information is being digitized. The explosion of low cost computing power (Moore's law), coupled with the power of connectivity and the Internet (Metcalfe's law) creates an entirely new opportunity to create, produce and distribute rich digital content.

Others are seeing the opportunity. Ball State University has landed about $40 million in funding from the Lilly Endowment to launch a digital media initiative. Interactive gaming and simulators are changing the way in which complex learning is taking place. The U.S. Defense Department is heavily involved in this research.!

A big opportunity in Ohio comes with creative digital media. Through an extensive set of meetings at REI, FUTURE and Defrag, we are seeing the opportunities emerge in Ohio around gaming, 3-D visualization, and education. We have extensive assets, and we are uncovering more through Defrag. !!

Building interactive games -- and applying this technology to education -- represents one of the promising areas for Ohio. To give you some orientation to this opportunity, read the report from New Zealand that looks at their interactive gaming cluster. Austin has jumped on this opportunity with its Gaming!Expo.

Defrag is continuing to develop this cluster with a set of "link and leverage" strategies. To give you some sense of urgency and the opportunities, here are two videos that Lev Gonick played at the recent Cleveland!2.0 meeting. The first focuses on the challenges ahead. The second explores some of our digital opportunities. The Internet is our first interactive mass medium. The technology to launch this interactivity is emerging as "Web 2.0". This technology has profound implications for how economic development will take place in the next decade. “

Title: IN THE SWEET BYE & BYE: Migration and Transformation of Concept and Form Fri 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM Spitzer Room 211 Topic/X-cutting theme: Education, Modeling & Simulation Description: IN THE SWEET BYE & BYE Notes on Development and Process: IN THE SWEET BYE & BYE is a multi-modal fusion of visual art, literature, and immersive digital media, manifesting as a gallery installation, on-line environment in Second Life, and bound print portfolio. It is an evocation of African-American personal/familial/communal narratives and allegories, in words and distinctive interpretive visual compositions. It is a hymn of nuanced harmonies and discords; a blending of voices sweet and rough. It is a trans-generational memoir, illuminating paths we walk, stories we’ve been told, and the dream-places we haunt. It is a continuation of my four decades of art-making and research, and my creative collaborations with poet/novelist Dorothy Mallory Jones, my mother (LISSEN HERE!, book 2004, and The Trouble I’ve Seen, broadcast video 1976). IN THE SWEET BYE & BYE is a dialogue between traditional and contemporary creative and cultural practice. It is composed of poetic and narrative text, digital paintings, photo-collage, animations, soundscapes, and immersive virtual environments. Themes and threads of the work are derived from personal and family memoirs, and African-American/Diaspora oral traditions. The 2D, 3D and animation compositions are my original work, and archive of photo, film, video and graphic imagery, dating to the late 19th century, and spanning the planet. IN THE SWEET BYE & BYE will speak to diverse audiences, through the breadth and depth of its content, and the three modes of presentation. Each presentation mode (installation, web, book) of IN THE SWEET BYE & BYE transposes and interprets the source material into distinctive form, exploiting the particular capabilities and character of the mode. Each is a stand-alone experience, yet complimentary to the other modes. IN THE SWEET BYE & BYE is a process of migration and transformation of concepts and designs through technologies, and temporal terrains. B&B SL: An Immersive Memior Developing IN THE SWEET BYE & BYE in Second Life (B&B SL) began mid Jan 07. It marks the paradigm shift in vision. It begins the migration of source material and core expressive intentions, and transformations of concepts and ideas, as I investigate designing in/for this dynamic immersive environment.

These untapped assets can be transformed and even monetized through a “content conversion” process that enables their use as “New Media”. Existing content can be converted to realize educational, promotional, or informational value and generate direct or indirect revenue. We’ll discuss the process and show actual examples. In a world where YouTube is a billion dollar asset, it’s time organizations get out their old media and jump in. Speakers: David Walker, Stephen Brand, Ph.D., Mindgrab Media LLC, !

Case: 0034

Title: The Emerging Economics of Open Source Software Fri 9:00 AM - 10:45 AM Stocker Cinema Hall Topic/X-cutting theme: Social Software Technologies, Social Networks Description: Open Source developers have, perhaps without conscious intent, created a new and surprisingly successful economic paradigm for the production of software. Examining that paradigm can answer a number of important questions. It's not immediately obvious how Open Source works economically. Probably the worst consequence of this lack of understanding is that many people don't understand how Open Source could be economically sustainable, and some may even feel that its potential negative e"ect upon the proprietary software industry is an overall economic detriment. Fortunately, if you look more deeply into the economic function of software in general, it's easy to establish that Open Source is both sustainable and of tremendous benefit to the overall economy. Open Source can be explained entirely within the context of conventional open-market economics. Indeed, it turns out that it has much stronger ties to the phenomenon of capitalism than you may have appreciated. Join us for a dynamic presentation.
