* Mission Statement:
The Purpose of Critical Digital is to foster the dialogue about digital
media, digital technology and design, and to challenge the basis of
contemporary digital media arguments. The intention of the group is to
identify, distinguish and offer a critique for current trends, tendencies
and movements in digital culture. Through diverse activities it intends to
develop a direction of thought into a proposed framework to sustain
discourse that will challenge what is rapidly becoming the mainstream. It
will provide a permanent forum for discussion and enrichment of the
experiences in this field of study in the Harvard-GSD community, and also
pursue to establish a vital link and presence with outside communities.
