This conference announcment is my first message using mailbase so I hope it works! Many thanks, Dew Harrison. ----------------------------------------------------------------- ++ Apologies for cross posting ++ Conference Announcement and Call for Papers and Exhibits ------------------------------------------------ EXCHANGE 2000: Research in Art, Media and Design ------------------------------------------------ The third 'Exchange' conference will be held on 2nd and 3rd November 2000 at the Watershed Media Centre, Bristol, UK. Two conferences hosted by the Faculty of Art, Media and Design at the University of the West of England, Bristol, in October 1998 and February 1999, brought together researchers from across the UK and European art and design community. This third event will enable participants to explore current debates, learn about funding opportunities, report on work in progress and join in discussions about the future of research in art, media and design. Presentations are invited for papers, virtual exhibits, and posters on work in progress. Research outcomes, including computer graphics, animation and short films, can be also submitted for the evening screening session. Contributions are invited on work in progress, particularly if they cover current PhD programmes or the work of both new and long-standing research centres. We also welcome contributions on the increasing importance of the digital 'medium' as well as the digital 'tool' in order to include discussion of digital resources for research. All contributors are invited to address the relationship of theory to practice and their particular methodological concerns within art, media and design research. In conjunction with the Watershed Media Centre there will be an opportunity to submit online work, to be shown in the Watershed exhibition gallery and on the WWW prior to, and during, the conference. A catalogue of these works will be listed in the conference documentation and be part of a refereed online conference publication. As part of the conference, visits will be arranged to other cultural centres in Bristol, including @Bristol, Arnolfini Gallery, Create Centre, Royal West of England Academy, Bristol Museum and Art Gallery and Spike Island. --------- Key Dates --------- Dates for submission of proposals 1 September 2000 Notification of acceptance 15 September 2000 Publication of full programme and abstracts 6 October 2000 Deadline for registration 18 October 2000 Conference 2-3 November 2000 Publication of revised papers, summaries and links 1 December 2000 ------------------ Submission Details ------------------ If you would like to contribute a paper, or poster on work in progress, please send a proposed title, abstract of up to 500 words and biographical details to the conference organisers by 1 September 2000.
