title = "Public Information: Documents, Spectacles and the Politics of Public Participation",
abstract = "This proposed panel addresses the representation of the public in the information age. For the most part, new technologies delivered by corporate interests envision the 'public' as markets, separated into demographic age groups, income brackets and individual consumption behaviors. In the information age, public representation is synonymous with the market, voting and buying are conflated, and politics is a subbranch of marketing. This panel focuses on recent works that transcends categories of consumption and represents the public to itself outside of this arena. What are the possibilities for shared public experience rendered by new technologies? What interventions have been made in the political work of constructing public identity?.",
