<p class="MsoNormal">Hello everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am writing to update you all with exciting developments for the Pacific Northwest Media Commons. With the invaluable aid of my new co-organizer, Lauren Berliner, we have created next year’s schedule for work-in-progress events, created
social media sites and a logo for the PNWMC, and are all set for this month’s talk by Dr. Zoë Druick.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The schedule for 2023’s work-in-progress events is attached to this email. We will have presentations from Dr. Benedict Stork, Dr. Susan Harewood, Dr. Clare Wilkinson, Dr. Mal Ahern, Dr. John Trafron, and Dr. Ariana Ochoa Camacho. Please
circulate this flyer to any interested parties. All events will be held online over Zoom.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Additionally, we still have two more events for 2022. On Friday, November 18<sup>th</sup> Dr. Druick will present “System Jams: Frederick Wiseman’s Documentaries Through a Cybernetic Lens” (flyer attached) and on December 2<sup>nd</sup>
Dr. Johanna Goss will present “Ray Johnson, Mail Art, and Network Aesthetics.” <o:p>
</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Finally, thanks to Lauren, we now have a Facebook page where members can find out about upcoming events and post their own announcements to the broader community. This page can be found here:<o:p></o:p></p>
