Dark Eden Conference 6th - 8th November 2020 DARK EDEN is the sixth International Transdisciplinary Imaging Conference, the previous iterations of which have been held in Istanbul and Edinburgh among other locations. Due to travel restrictions, this conference will be streamed online with live panel discussions. DARK EDEN is a conference that addresses the orientation and the fate of image culture in an era of pandemics, climate crisis, social media disinformation, drone surveillance, and the emergence of AI and general augmented intelligence. The conference theme was initially formulated before the disastrous bushfires in Australia at the end of last year. The past year’s avalanche of dire events—along with the global, indeed planetary, consequences of the imminent US election—have only added to the timeliness and urgency of this conference. We can offer this exciting assembly of over sixty international speakers—artists, designers, theorsists, science and technology researchers—presenting new and innovative work over three packed days from Friday 6th November to Sunday 8th November 2020 for a modest $45 registration. The distinguished keynote speakers are Timothy Morton, Laura Marks and Barb Bolt. The conference is chaired by Paul Thomas and co-chaired by David Eastwood and Chelsea Lehmann. Please share this invitation and the conference program with anyone you feel might be interested, and do please come along. https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/dark-eden-transdisciplinary-imaging-conference-2020-tickets-94726955875 <https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/dark-eden-transdisciplinary-imaging-conference-2020-tickets-94726955875> Professor Paul Thomas Fine Art UNSW Art & Design UNSW Sydney Paddington Campus Cnr Oxford St & Greens Rd, Paddington, NSW 2021 Australia ______________________________________________ SPECTRE list for media culture in Deep Europe Info, archive and help: http://post.in-mind.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/spectre
