Mindful Web Connections

Mindful Web Connection brings arts and technology students together at Syracuse University to build an inclusive entrepreneurial community that exhibits creativity and collaboration.

The project creates mindful connections by means of (1) contemplative video art workshops, (2) development and implementation of web 2.0 technologies to archive and exchange videos and ideas at an Everson museum screening , and (3) an “inter-generational” team including art and technology students and a top industry designer. SU students will connect with students from the Institute of Technology at Syracuse Central High School and the Everson Museum of Art, which will host a public video screening and experiential gallery talks. Ultimately, the project will help students learn to cultivate rapport necessary for successful collaborations.
Faculty members such as Meredith Professor Ruth Small invite students to work on projects in one of the iSchool’s renowned research centers.
Several faculty members, including Associate Professor Lee McKnight and his Wireless Grids Corporation, have built spin-off companies from their cutting-edge research in academia.
