Inspired
by the innovative thinking of Marshall McLuhan, the McLuhan Salons series is
committed to make McLuhan’s ideas step out of the university and into the city,
to better understand who we are, what matters to us, and where we might be going
in a networked and rapidly changing world.
The McLuhan Salon series is
generously supported by the William and Nona Heaslip
Foundation.
Curators: Paolo Granata and David
Nostbakken
