Following the success of Media Art History 2005 Re:fresh in Banff, Media Art
History 2007 Re:place in Berlin and Media Art History 2009 Re:live in
Melbourne, Media Art History 2011 Rewire will host three days of keynotes,
panels and poster sessions.
Media Art History 2011 Rewire will increase the voltage and ignite key
debates within the internationally distributed network of histories, which
takes account of the questions surrounding documentation and methodologies,
materiality, and agency. Rewire aims to up the current to illuminate the
British contribution to media art, and by looking at our industrial heritage
and contribution to the history of computing technologies themselves, we
will open the discussion to how these contributions are manifested
internationally. Considering the International scope of the histories of
media art, science and technology, Rewire is also listed as part of the
"McLuhan in Europe" programme, and will take place concurrently with The
Asia Triennial in Manchester and Abandon Normal Devices, the North West's
festival of new cinema and digital culture which returns to Liverpool in
September 2011. The reviewers especially welcome proposals for presentations
that resonate thematically with these events.
We are looking for original research on:
* The relations between art, science, technology and industry, both
historically and now
* New paradigms and alternative discourses for media art and media art
history, such as, for example, craft, design, social media, or cybernetics
* Local histories and practices of media art, including (but not limited to)
Britain
* Colonial experiences and non-Western histories of media art, science and
technology
* Media art history in relation to the biological, biomedical and ecological
sciences
* Relations between the histories of media art and those of computing and
new technologies
* Writing art history in a technologised and scientific culture, including
the documentation of media art and how it is changed in a technologised and
scientific culture
* How the field of science and technology studies (STS) can offer useful
models for new paradigms for art history
