This year, his class is embarking on an off-campus study, a ten-week odyssey beginning in Northfield, Minnesota and taking them to New York, London, Amsterdam and Berlin. At each stop, they&#8217;ll be visiting with new media producers, attending festivals and exhibitions, and documenting their travels in a variety of forms. Needless to say, we&#8217;re deeply envious.<br \/>\nThe Institute was the first stop on their trip, so we tried to start things off with a flourish. After a brief peak at the office, we brought the class over to <a href=\"http:\/\/monkeytownhq.com\/\">Monkeytown<\/a>, a local cafe and video club with a fantastic cube-shaped salon in the back where gigantic projection screens hang on each of the four walls.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"stein_monkeyclub.jpg\" src=\"\/blog\/archives\/stein_monkeyclub.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"227\" \/><br \/>\nHooking our computers up to the projectors, we took the students on a tour of what we do: showed them our projects, talked about networked books (it was surreal to see GAM3R 7H30RY blown up 20 feet wide, wavering slightly in the central AC), and finished with a demo of Sophie. John Schott wrote a nice <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ratchetup.com\/roadtrip\/2006\/05\/what_to_bring.html\">report<\/a> about our meeting on the class&#8217;s blog. Also, for a good introduction to John&#8217;s views on personal media production and media literacy, take a look at this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mnstories.com\/archives\/2006\/03\/we_media_carlet.html\">interview<\/a> he gave on a Minnesota video blog back in March.<br \/>\nThis is a great group of students he&#8217;s assembled, with interests ranging from film production to philosophy to sociology. They also seem to like Macs. This could be an ad for the new MacBook:<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"laptop_line.jpg\" src=\"\/blog\/archives\/laptop_line.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"120\" \/><br \/>\nWe&#8217;ve invited them back toward the end of their three weeks in New York to load Sophie onto their laptops before they head off to Europe.<br \/>\n(photos by John Schott)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Wednesday, we had the pleasure of spending an afternoon with a group of 22 students from Carleton College who are spending a trimester studying and making digital media under the guidance of John Schott, a professor in the Dept. of Cinema &#038; Media Studies specializing in &#8220;personal media&#8221; production and network culture.
