Stan Jones -----Original Message----- From: Film-Philosophy Salon on behalf of Andy Miah Sent: Sat 12/8/2007 2:42 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Professor Yvonne Spielmann - inaugural lecture - university of the west of scotland - CCA Glasgow Dear Colleagues, Please find below details of Professor Yvonne Spielmann's inaugural lecture at the University of the West of Scotland. Inaugural lecture "Intermediality: Perspectives on Convergent Media". Professor Yvonne Spielmann, Professor of New Media, University of the West of Scotland Wednesday 12 December, 7.30-8:30pm, refreshments to follow. CCA (CENTRE FOR CONTEMPORARY ARTS) 350 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow In her lecture, Professor Spielmann will introduce relevant aspects of the histories and concepts of how interrelationships between different media can function. This will involve the discussion of examples from literature, photography, film and in particular electronic film in order to better understand the larger picture of contemporary fusion that seemingly embraces all media. The lecture identifies a variety of strategies in the media arts where we can see how the separation and the borders between film, video and computer generated images are challenged. These processes are relevant to creative practices that combine and converge elements of the analogue and the digital. Thereby, the lecture will also raise the question how innovation and creativity express technologically and/or aesthetically in the increasingly complex and convergent media practices. Yvonne joins the University from the Braunschweig School of Art where she was Professor of Visual Media, prior to that Yvonne was Assistant Professor of Media Studies at the University of Siegen, both Germany. She is author of the German language monographs "Eine Pfütze in bezug aufs Mehr. Avantgarde" (1991), "Intermedialität. Das System Peter Greenaway" (1998), and "Video. Das reflexive Medium" (2005). The Lecture will commence at 7.30 pm and last for around one hour. A buffet reception will take place immediately after the lecture. The lecture is free and open to all, but requires confirmation of attendance, as numbers are limited.
