He is an executive board member and the founding New York Chair of the Producers Guild of America New Media Council and a recipient of the Marc A. Levey distinguished service award.〔(The Silicon Alley Reporter 100: 10 Years Later, Where Are They Now? | Betabeat—News, gossip and intel from Silicon Alley 2.0 )〕 Scarpa has received numerous accolades for his contributions in emerging media, including a Webby Award in 2010 for Best Event / Live Webcast for his work on the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards, a Cannes Bronze Lion for Branded Content and Entertainment for the X Factor Pepsi Digital Preshow and Xtra Factor App and four (Social TV Awards ) including Best of Show for X Factor Pepsi Digital Preshow and Xtra Factor App. Additionally, he is a sought after speaker and panelist for conferences such as NATPE,〔(NATPE Speakers 2012 )〕 (X-Summit ),〔(X-Summit Speakers 2012 )〕 (LTE North America ),〔(LET North America Speakers 2012 )〕 Digital Hollywood〔(Digital Hollywood Speakers Spring 2012 )〕 and Canadian Music Week〔(Canadian Music Week Speakers 2013 )〕 among others. His works are noted for their use of social media, streaming video, music-photo-video sharing, conversation, data visualization, tags and links whose value and power derives from the active participation of many people in real time in which the boundaries between audiences and creators become blurred and often invisible.〔(Forever Festival--Earth's First Live Digital Music Festival--Streams to you August 4-11 )〕 Scarpa is a firm advocate that the term "audience" is obsolete in the new world of participatory media and that "audience" or "viewer" should be renamed "participant". As a Director, he views his role as providing context to the flow of contributions by the participants and to creatively connect online and onsite groups to stimulate conversation and engagement around a particular live event or program. Milestone projects include the Tibetan Freedom Concerts, Woodstock 99, Grammy Live! and politically driven programs such as Townhall with President Bill Clinton. Scarpa's current venture Simplynew, incorporates his natural talent for producing participatory content with a focus on the creation of 24/7 real time (media) networks. ==Personal life== Marc Scarpa has spent most of his adult life in New York City. His mother Deborah McDermott was the general manager and part-owner of several steak and seafood restaurants. His adoptive father Vincent Scarpa is a landscape designer. Scarpa was raised in a non-denominational household. As a boy, his parents would often take him to movie theaters. It was at this stage in his life that he developed a passion for cinema and storytelling. Enamored of science fiction epics in his adolescence, at least two films of the genre, Star Wars and 2001: A Space Odyssey, appear to have had a deep and lasting impact on his cinematic psyche. Scarpa also developed an admiration for improvisation and a realistic cinéma vérité style through the works of John Cassavetes, direct cinema aesthetic via D.A. Pennebaker At age 10, Scarpa became deeply interested in the internet and was an early adopter of computing technology. He spent countless hours online to hone his craft as a phone Phreaker. Major influences in this underground landscape included Legion of Doom member King Blotto of Blottoland, Phiber Optik, Bill from New York, Captain Crunch, Woz and broadcast video hacker Captain Midnight. His first computer exposure was to a TRS-80 Model II with a 300-baud modem at his elementary school in Bedford, New York. His mother subsequently purchased an Atari 400, then an Atari 800 computer with modem, cassette drive and color printer for his use at home. Scarpa continued learning on the TRS-80 at school along with the IBM PC 5150 and Commodore 64 computers respectively, learning to program in BASIC. Around the same time, Scarpa received a VHS Camcorder for his birthday and ironically later purchased an inferior quality Pixelvision 2000 from the money he earned shooting football practices at his local school with the VHS Camcorder. This marked the beginning of his foray into using mixed media to tell stories and shoot live events. Scarpa went on to receive his B.F.A. at the School of Visual Arts where he gravitated to the history, semiotics and sociology of cinema and learned to use super 8mm, 16mm Bolex, ARRI and emerging digital camera systems such as Sony Hi-8. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marc Scarpa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
