Fast Forward - Art history,
curation and practice after media
CHArt TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL CONFERENCE, Thursday 9 -
Friday 10 November 2006,
Everything is changing. In particular our media are
changing and developing in extraordinary and unprecedented ways and with great
rapidity. This is particularly true of so-called 'new media', such as the
Internet and the World Wide Web, mobile telephony, and digital video. All of
these either enable us to do things we did before differently, or more often
and more easily, or to do things we could previously barely imagine. This is
transforming how we understand and use what we still call 'media', even as we
enter a 'post-media' age. More dramatically, these developments are in the
process of transforming not just our world, but our very selves, how we
understand who we are. We are in the midst of dramatic shifts in terms of the
paradigms by which we understand and act in the world. This is being
acknowledged increasingly by those working in visual culture, whether in
cultural production or cultural heritage, in art practice or in the history of
art, in museums, in galleries or in other kinds of arts organisations, in
libraries and archives, or in broadcast and media production companies, all of
which are facing up to the consequences of rapid technological and cultural
change.
For the 2006 CHArt Conference we are looking for proposals
for papers that deal with the possibilities, challenges and problems of these
changes, as they affect visual culture, in areas including (but not limited
to):
Art Practice; Art History; Museums; Galleries;
Curation; Archives; Libraries; Education; Media and Broadcast Production;
Cultural Assets Management and Access; Hardware; Software; Theory; Practice
Please email submissions (a three hundred word
synopsis of the proposed paper with CV of presenter/s and other key figures) by
31 May 2006 to Hazel Gardiner ([log in to unmask]).
