The radio show Place de la Toile will be live at Lift on Friday june 19 at 11am as Caroline Broué and Thomas Baumgartner will install a radio set during the break and discussions between 11am and noon in the Conference Hall.

We have come to an era where society breaths technology. Screens are familiar to us, however we do not know the consequences that tie with their domination.

Place de la Toile is a radio show that brings to the table the different aspects of this technological revolution. It is less about the technical site, but more about what it will induce on the media, communications, information technology, the social links and finally the way our lives are organized in society. The show offers a weekly round of findings in the science and information technology community, meets the doers in the field, highlights the important events, and discusses the economy, politics and philosophy of this revolution.

Conceived and animated by Caroline Broué and Thomas Baumgartner, the show is structured in two parts; one 45 minute report followe by a chronicle about new medias.
