The 21st century has brought about a transformation in the way in which we produce, distribute, and consume media. This panel will consist of university student experimental media makers who create for multiple platforms, venues, and audiences. The goal of the roundtable is to garner students from various geographic spaces across the US who are making experimental media and have them not only share their work, but dialogue about their own lived realities and the processes they use to create and distribute their work.
