A multi-disciplinary research and teaching centre at the University of Victoria, The Pacific Centre for Technology and Culture questions how changes in technology alter culture, politics and society. Led by the trailblazing Canadian techno-theorists Arthur and Marilousie Kroker, the centre hosts the online scholarly journals C-Theory and C-Theory Multimedia, C-Theory Library and the new media textbook “Life in the Wires“. PACTAC is also dedicated to prototyping educational situations in a global context: the centre is broadcast-ready and conducts regular virtual seminars and lectures. As an effort to negotiate the global space created by technology and to fulfill McLuhan’s vision of electronic culture as a “university without walls” lectures are streamed live enabling interaction from a global audience of technology scholars.
