New Media & Vancouver Stanley Cup Riot 2011

Final Group Video Project
CMNS 253W Summer '11

This video illustrates the far-ranging impacts mobile technology and social media have in urban spaces in this digital age. The events which this video is primarily anchored in reflect the Vancouver 2011 riots which surfaced shortly after the Canucks' loss to the Boston Bruins during the Stanley Cup finals in June earlier this year.

Public surveillance, mobile reporting and acts of social justice resulted from these events due to the enabling technologies of mobile and social media.

This video is a compilation of various event footage and other media taken both during and after the riots. We do not take credit for them.
