Nicolas and myself spent the evening at the Radio Suisse Romande for "Devine qui vient dîner, a one hour discussion around Nicolas' latest book on Geolocalised medias ("Les médias géolocalisés") where we ended up explaining much about our work at Lift.

You can listen to the show (in French) on rsr.ch, in streaming and mp3.

Beside team communications, this blog features posts written by community members. If you have a Lift account you can also share your thoughts and ideas by clicking here. Here is a post from Deutsche Welle's Anne Le Touzé seeking participants for a radio show to be recorded during the conference.

I will be attending the LIFT conference in Marseille in order to take part to the Innov’Africa Workshop as a representative of the BOBs (the Deutsche Welle international Blog competition). This meeting will also be the opportunity to record a radio programme in form of a debate, which will then be broadcasted on the Deutsche Welle French programme.

In order to stay within the subject approached during the workshop, I suggest to debate about the networks on the internet and their contribution to development. A topic that will allow to talk briefly about the state of the connectivity on the African continent, then to consider the initiatives of human networks and their effects on development. The radio programme, called “Arbre à palabre” is only 25 minutes long, but I hope to be able to give an overview of the development of new media in African countries.

If you have any ideas on the subject please let me know.

Date and time foreseen for the recording: Saturday, June 20th, 10:30 am.

[FRENCH VERSION]
Je serai à la conférence LIFT France du 18 au 20 juin à Marseille, où je participerai à l’atelier Innov’Africa en tant que représentante des BOBs (concours international de blogs de la Deutsche Welle). Cette rencontre sera également l’occasion d’enregistrer une émission-débat qui sera diffusée ensuite sur le programme français de la Deutsche Welle.

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.

Lift was featured in this week's Atelier Numérique on BFM radio, an occasion to introduce Lift to French media, discuss the programme of the Marseille conference, and spotlight one of the projects that will be presented during the experience: Interac Wearing.
