CFP for Journal of Media Practice and MeCCSA Practice network Symposium
Post-Screen Cultures/Practices
Friday 10 June 2016, London South Bank University
Deadline for proposals 30 April
*All papers presented will be considered for a special edition of the Journal of Media Practice*
A one-day practice/research symposium hosted by the School of Arts and Creative Industries at London South Bank University, with support from the Journal of Media Practice and the MeCCSA Practice network.
With the proliferation of mobile devices the presence of the screen in every day life is ever more pervasive, personal and immersive. In the last five years, for example, the tablet has become the must-have device, with over half of UK households (54%) now owning one (Ofcom, 2015). Raised as 'screenagers', one in ten (11%) 3-4 year olds now have their own tablet as a pacifier, educational aid and entertainer (Ofcom, 2015). Our urban spaces offer up new forms of interaction as the numbers of screens multiply. Via the screen we navigate an evolving media and cultural landscape that is increasingly interactive, intuitive and always on.
How has the ubiquity of the screen affected broader visual and media culture? How do we imagine life on screen for Generation Alpha? We welcome contributions from practitioners and practice researchers that explore the theme of post-screen cultures/practices. The prefix post is used here to refer to the state of being after in time or order, but we are interested in approaches that address screen-oriented cultures/practices past, present and future. Contributions that seek to question, challenge or disrupt existing screen-oriented cultures or practices, or that consider life beyond the screen, are also encouraged.
Possible topic areas include:
Ubiquitous photography and the networked image
New screen modalities and spectatorship/audience
Repurposing and remediation
Hybridity and Multi-platform practices
Gaming and gasification
The Internet of Things and wearable technologies
Collaborative interactions
Augmented/Mixed/Hybrid reality
Virtual reality and immersive environments
Surveillance, Sousveillance and Omnipresence
Big data visualisation
Commercialisation
This symposium will focus on practice research and will feature papers, presentations of practice, screenings and demonstrations. A special issue of the Journal of Media Practice will be devoted to publishing a selection of practice research presented at the symposium. All work accepted for the symposium will be considered for the JMP edition.
Papers/Presentations
We invite papers/presentations of 20 minutes from academics, practitioners, scholars and researchers working in the area of photography, film and video practice, documentary, experimental media, art practice, gaming and multiplatform/ multimedia production, digital technologies, film studies, media and cultural studies, and associated fields and subject areas.
