John Fillwalk and Jesse Allison’s virtual artwork was prominently incorporated into the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs’ publication Understanding Islam through Virtual Worlds. After a year of research spanning four continents and interviews with dozens of people across the virtual world of the Internet, Carnegie Fellows Rita J. King and Joshua S. Fouts have released their findings from the project at a press conference on January 29th at 6PM.
The report will include a trilogy of deliverables, including formal public diplomacy policy recommendations for the Obama Administration; a broadcast-quality short machinima documentary; and a graphic book chronicling the people, places and findings of the project.
On Friday, January 30 we will hold a discussion in the virtual world of Second Life and via Twitter to discuss and release the findings. More information about that will be posted later. For those who cannot attend the live event, all of our reports will be downloadable via the web.
