>Intersections between Art, Science and Culture.
>Dates: 22 23, June 2012
>Location: Victorian College of the Arts,
>Federation Hall, Grant Street, Southbank, Melbourne 3006
>Interference strategies for artDeadline for Abstracts: March 30, 2012The
>Transdisciplinary Imaging Conference seeks papers that explore the theme
>of ŒInterference¹ within practices of contemporary image making. Today
>we¹re saturated with images from all disciplines, whether it¹s the
>creation of Œbeautiful visualisations¹ for science, the torrent of images
>uploaded to social media services like Flickr, or the billions of queries
>made to vast visual data archives such as Google Images. These machinic
>interpretations of the visual and sensorial experience of the world are
>producing a new spectacle of media pollution. Machines are in many ways
>the new artists.
>The notion of ŒInterference¹ is posed here as an antagonism between
>production and seduction, as a redirection of affect, or as an untapped
>potential for repositioning artistic critique. Maybe art doesn¹t have to
>work as a wave that displaces or reinforces the standardized protocols of
>data/messages, but can instead function as a kind of signal that disrupts
>and challenges perceptions. ŒInterference¹ can stand as a mediating
>incantation that might create a layer between the constructed image of
>the Œeveryday¹ given to us by science, technological social networks and
>the means of its construction.
>The Transdisciplinary Imaging Conference wants papers that ask:
>
>* Can art interfere with the chaotic storms of data visualization and
>information processing, or is it merely eulogizing contemporary media?
>
>* Can we think of Œinterference¹ as a key tactic for the contemporary
>image in disrupting and critiquing the continual flood of constructed
>imagery?
>
>* Are contemporary forms and strategies of interference the same as
>historical ones? What kinds of similarities and differences exist?
>
>The conference will explore areas related to: Painting, Drawing, Media
>Art, Film, Video, Photography, Computer visualization, Real-time imaging,
>Intelligent systems, Image Science.
