"The IT culture, like the IT girl, is the culture that every other culture wants to be. But what happens when the IT culture becomes just another culture? When it becomes, in other words, situated?"Momus
Techno-culture hero Momus gives his view on where we might be headed...Momus, aka Scotsman Nick Currie is living the life futurologists always promised us. Best known for deceptively simple songs laced with adult themes, Momus changes location frequently in search of new stimulation, and works in a digital world where geography doesn't affect economics so much as it creates opportunity. His regular output of CDs has drawn together a loyal fan base, and in this lecture they have the chance to hear the enigmatic Momus as he discusses his own idiosyncratic take on the relationship between creativity and digital technology.
