OUR SHOW:


Like it or not, we made the internet and the internet made us. Some of us adopted it; others were born in it, molded by it. Many of our formative years were spent building and discovering online spaces, subcultures, and simulacra. Whether it was geocaching, AIMing, coding MySpace pages, playing Club Penguin, or watching beauty YouTube vlogs, all of us have corners of the internet that have informed our worldviews today.


Right now, it’s more important than ever to have conversations that meet the moment while thinking back on how the internet was and what it will be. So we’re back with a show for techno-optimists, techno-doomerists, and techno-realists—tonight, we ask some internet culture experts to describe the places online they called home, exploring the ways the World Wide Web has defined our lives and the ways we see the world.


ABOUT DIGITAL VOID:


We're an internet literacies collective exploring online, offline, and in-between spaces.
