Digitopolis: The Culture of the EPortFolio -- In this presentation, Gray Kochhar-Lindgren will set the stage for a (re)thinking of the cultural history and projections of the E-PortFolio as a technological, philosophical, and artistic object. Moving from paleolithic paintings to the posthuman portfolio just around the corner, but never in a straight line, we will consider the archives, mirrors, screens, projectors, and money that are bundled into the E-PortFolio as a more and more immersive experience for the life-long creative enterprises of ourselves and our students.
