I was surfing the web and came across this interesting and innovative project called “Beyond Digital: Morocco.” It turns out the guys who are traveling to Morocco have a really high concept purpose behind their trip, planned for June 2011, and they are fundraising using a novel online tool called “Kickstarter.” I don’t think I can do their amazing concept justice, so I’ll copy their mission statement here and encourage you to check out their promo video on the Kickstarter page. I am sponsoring them for 10 bucks and really hope it all works out – good luck guys!

Beyond Digital: Morocco is a research and production project consisting of video documentation, digital media workshops, and public performances managed by artists DJ Rupture (Jace Clayton), Maga Bo, Photo Editor of The Fader magazine John Francis Peters, and Taliesin Gilkes-Bower on location for the month of June in Marrakesh, Morocco. The project focuses on how creative adaptations of global digital technologies in Morocco are helping to transform youth culture and suggesting powerful alternatives to Western concepts of digital literacy.
