Re-Create 2015, the sixth international
Conference on the Histories of Media, Art Science
and Technology will mark the 10th Anniversary of
the Re conference series. Re-Create 2015 is
devoted to exploring what theories, methodologies
and techniques can be used to understand past,
present and indeed, future paradigms of creative
material practice involving technologies within
research contexts from a historical and critical
point of view.
The title Re-Create is an abbreviation for the
term "research-creation", part of a growing
international movement which goes by many names:
"practice-led research," "research-led practice,"
and "artistic research," among others.
While the link between research and practice
seems to be a new horizon, the media-based arts
have long been at the intersection of the
humanities, sciences, and engineering and present
a critical site in which to take up the changing
relationships between knowledge, power, and
economy.
Research normally signifies modes of acquiring
new knowledge that coherently and systematically
advance a field and is grounded and validated by
both social frameworks (peers) and existing
bodies of knowledge. Similarly, research in
conjunction with material practice demands that
making be historically, theoretically and
methodologically framed and valorized.
Re-Create 2015 seeks to interrogate the
historical entanglement of research and making
within a wide and diverse set of international
sites, disciplines and contexts: from
non-institutional creative research initiatives
driven by artists and designers in the streets,
to the labyrinths of industry funded research
labs and universities. From unknown or ignored
histories of research-based practices in Latin
America, Asia and Indigenous communities to
government funded initiatives, the conference
will thus critically explore the ongoing and
productive tensions between theory, method and
making in the histories of media, art, science
and technology.
Potential contributors to the conference should
focus thematic panel sessions or individual
papers on one of the following areas of
concentration:
LAB STUDIES : Studies on how artists and
designers have historically worked in industry,
universities and collective, grass roots-based
research environments
CURATORIAL ACTIONS AND PRACTICES : How have
research paradigms historically entered into
curatorial practices and how have they been
framed, exhibited and articulated?
ANTI-INSTITUTIONAL RESEARCH : Historical profiles
of non-institutionally based research-driven
explorations.
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORKS : How have theoretical
paradigms in media, art, science and technology
historically evolved structuralism in the 1960s
or media studies to current work in affect
theory, media archaeology, critical post-humanist
approaches derived from STS, appropriation and
remix aesthetics, feminist new materialism, queer
and postcolonial studies, enactive and
distributed cognition?
METHODOLOGIES : What can methodological tools
emerging from the human and social sciences like
ethnography, historiography, archaeology,
genealogy and other qualitative techniques
provide to the historical and critical
positioning of practice?
INTERDISCIPLINARY INTERSECTIONS AND IMPACTS :
Exploration of the formation and rise of
interdisciplinary research fields (image science,
sound studies, science studies, sensory studies,
environmental studies) and their impact on the
construction of media art histories.
DIGITAL HUMANITIES : What is the historical
relationship between the digital humanities and
the histories of media, art, science and
technology?
SITES: How historically have sites of research
and practice in media art, science and technology
evolved outside of the predominant spheres of
Europe and North America and what forms have they
taken?
CONFERENCE PROGRAM
The conference program will include competitively
selected peer-reviewed individual papers, panel
presentations and poster sessions as well as a
number of keynotes and invited speakers and a
parallel satellite program of events with
Hexagram partners including core cultural
institutions in Montreal. In the interest of
maintaining a concentrated conference program,
there will be a series of plenary sessions as
well as accompanying poster sessions. Each of the
plenaries as well as the poster sessions will mix
together scholars and practitioners representing
different cultural perspectives. The conference
will be held in English and French, with live
translation.
CALL FOR PROPOSALS
Re-Create 2015 welcomes contributions from
researchers, artists, designers, scholars and
technologists working across diverse disciplines,
sites and practices. We particularly encourage
scholars and creators from international contexts
outside of Europe and North America.
ABOUT THE CONTEXT AND THE HOST
The conference will take place in Montreal hosted
by Hexagram, the international network for media,
art, design and digital culture
(<http://hexagram.ca/>http://hexagram.ca). It is
the largest network of its kind in Canada and one
of the largest internationally dedicated to
research-led creative practices. Ten years after
the inaugural Re-Fresh conference at the Banff
New Media Institute in 2005, the return of the
conference to Canada and specifically to Quebec,
offers a pertinent context to address the
evolution of research in the histories of media,
art, science and technology
(<http://www.mediaarthistory.org/mah-conf-series>http://www.mediaarthistory.org/mah-conf-series).The
conference will be held across the two core
Hexagram sites at Concordia University and the
Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM). The
venues are within walking distance from each
other, centrally located in vibrant, downtown
Montreal - the digital arts and culture capital
of North America.
SUBMISSIONS
250 word abstracts of proposals, panel
presentations and posters should be submitted in
either Text, RTF, Word or PDF formats. Texts can
be submitted in French and in English. The
