Beyond Digital Site Finally Live

Update #2 · Jun 14, 2011 · comment

Hello Everyone-

Thanks for your patience through the nearly silent first two weeks of our residency in Morocco. Everything has been going at a sun-baked fever inducing pace- but suffice to say, we are all here getting down to work. John and Jace are running a weekly series of posts over at the Fader- you can check the first one here. Yesterday our website went live after some Word Press programming delays- but everything is nearly fixed up and running smoothly- so check us at http://www.beyond-digital.org/Morocco2011/ for daily updates. Today we are packing envelopes and organizing CD's to send you all your rewards.

After Jace, Bo and Maggie's research trip to Marrakesh  we decided to base ourselves in Casablanca for the month. Less tourism, more real people doing the media and music work we care about. It's been amazing so far and we never would have made it without you.

You can follow us on Twitter, or Facebook too if you want.

Much Love,

Taliesin and the BD Team

WOW THANK YOU

Update #1 · Mar 3, 2011 · comment

We are all incredibly honored to have your support. The same day we reached our pledge goal we received notification from NYFA that we will receive their support as a fiscal sponsor. This means we can apply for funds available to non-profits. There is still tons of work to do before we arrive in Marrakesh this June, but completing this initial fund raising effort was essential. Thank you again for contributing, sharing and discussing this project. Beyond Digital is a new model for all of us and we can't wait to share our story, as it unfolds, with you. 

If you feel inspired you can link us on facebook

Or follow us individually on Twitter @jfpetersphoto, @MagaBo, @Tal1es1n, @DJRupture

Our new home at http://www.beyond-digital.org/ should be up and running by the month.

All our Best,

Taliesin, Bo, John, Jace
