ABOUT: Equilibrium Media

It has been a very busy time here at Equilibrium Media. We have been simultaneously: testing our new webcasting and archiving system; launching the new EQ.TV website; developing series concepts for major networks; and so much more--all with the intention of informing and entertaining the shift to sustainability. And in response to a comment by a reader of this blog (thanks Chris, someone is watching!) we are taking this opportunity to share our vision in this form. A future post will cover the technical aspects of this endeavor, and this post will concentrate on this multi-headed vision we are birthing here in Ashland, Oregon.

ABOUT: Equilibrium Media

Harnessing new-media communication technology and strategy, Equilibrium Media is a multi-faceted vision for informing, educating, and inspiring the shift to a Global Culture of Sustainability.

EQ Media Studios is the production facility for Equilibrium Media, located in Ashland Oregon. This space--also known to locals as a venue; The Mobius--is equidistant from San Francisco and Portland, making for a great stop for artists and performers looking to play an intimate show for a receptive community. The Mobius serves as a well of cultural and educational content, and EQ Studios is soon to begin regular programming on topics relating to the culture, art, and science of Sustainability. Stay tuned for updates to our programming.

EQ.TV is our home on the internet. With a fiber optic connection capable of 100mbs uplink, in addition to capturing and archiving performances, seminars and workshops, we can webcast events and broadcast them on our website, Equilibrium Television (http://www.eq.tv). Newly developed and soon to launch, EQ.TV will become the internet destination for those seeking to find and discuss all topics relating to Sustainability.

Beyond capturing studio events, Equilibrium Media produces professional "communication pieces" for organizations and businesses seeking to tell their story. Examples of our work can be found on http://www.eq.tv (see Trans-Fair and Pura Vida Coffee Co., e.g.). We can deliver the piece via the Internet and DVD. Typically around 10 minutes, these engaging and entertaining films are often just what a business or organization needs to distinguish itself from other claims of green, sustainable, and socially just.

In addition to contracted work with 3rd party organizations, Equilibrium Media works in partnership with Equilibrium Institute (a 501c3) to identify, facilitate, and document ecologically restorative and community enhancing projects. Rather than working in isolation and repeating the same lessons of others who have done similar projects, by documenting the work of sustainability, we can therefore share the experience and grow off of the work of others, pushing the evolution in an informative, entertaining, and inspiring manner.

Equilibrium Media is presently securing a new round of funding, and is continuing the climb toward realizing this grand vision. These are exciting times for us and for the movement to a Global Culture of Sustainability. Stay tuned...
