FAST FORWARD: ART HISTORY, CURATION AND PRACTICE AFTER MEDIA
Computers and the History of Art (CHArt)
22nd Annual Conference, Thursday 9 - Friday 10 November 2006
London venue to be confirmed
CALL FOR PAPERS
Everything is changing. In particular our media are changing and
developing in extraordinary and unprecedented ways and with great
rapidity. This is particularly true of so-called 'new media', such as
the Internet and the World Wide Web, mobile telephony, and digital
video. All of these either enable us to do things we did before
differently, or more often and more easily, or to do things we could
previously barely imagine. This is transforming how we understand and
use what we still call 'media', even as we enter a 'post-media' age.
More dramatically, these developments are in the process of transforming
not just our world, but our very selves, how we understand who we are.
We are in the midst of dramatic shifts in terms of the paradigms by
which we understand and act in the world. This is being acknowledged
increasingly by those working in visual culture, whether in cultural
production or cultural heritage, in art practice or in the history
of art, in museums, in galleries or in other kinds of arts
organisations, in libraries and archives, or in broadcast and media
production companies, all of which are facing up to the consequences of
rapid technological and cultural change.
For the 2006 CHArt Conference we are looking for proposals for papers
that deal with the possibilities, challenges and problems of these
changes, as they affect visual culture, in areas including (but not
limited to):
Art Practice
Art History
Museums
Galleries
Curation
Archives
Libraries
Education
Media and Broadcast Production
Cultural Assets
Management and Access
Hardware
Software
Theory
Practice
Please email submissions (a three hundred word synopsis of the proposed
paper with CV of presenter/s and other key figures) by 31 May 2006 to
Hazel Gardiner ([email protected]).
