I hope you won't mind a sleeper on this list chipping in a CFP that might be
of interest - both for possible attendees, but also for people conducting
similar kinds of research in different territories. As some of you know
Pual, the convenor of this event, and I are also hosting the next iteration
of the media art history conferences, Re:live, in Melbourne later this year.
This is obviously related: the hostory, but also the prospects, and the best
practices, in media art education in Australai. If any CRUMBs are working on
similar projects, you can contact Paul at

All the best

Aims
The media/electronic art scoping symposium is calling for paper from
pioneering educators, artists and scientists who have brought about the
dissolution of boundaries that have traditionally existed between the
artistic and technological disciplines. The symposium is seeking the media
art educators who have developed new interdisciplinary curricula, facilities
and information technologies.
The symposium will explore influential theoretical, scientific and
philosophical pedagogies that have influenced the development of
media/electronic arts.
The Mass symposium calls for refereed and non referred papers, posters on
the following themes
€ media art, media art histories and associated pedagogical strategies
€ media art in the context of contemporary art education
€ examples of media art, descriptions and analysis of science, media art
and culture
€ creative practice as research in new media
€ media art innovations in teaching and learning
We particularly wish to encourage presentations from and about new
developments in teaching Media Art. Proposals are welcomed from academics,
artists, theorist, and researchers in media art, media art history,
performance studies, literature, film, and science and technology studies.
Deadline for 200 word abstracts: 27th March 09. Please submit proposals by

Symposium organizer.
