Digital Dynamics Across Cultures

Digital Dynamics Across Cultures, produced by Chris Cooney, Kim Christen, and Allesandro Ceglia introduces viewers to the knowledge and access protocols of the central Australian Aboriginal Warumungu community and countries (places). Place, according to the project home page, “is a significant identifier for Warumungu people as it serves as both a point of relation and a site for knowledge creation”. The site teaches about local Warumungu protocols for knowledge circulation, production, and interaction, deliberately intervening in common expectations that that the Internet should be used to share and distribute, rather than restrict and protect, forms of knowledge.
