It seeks to create an interdisciplinary platform of communication among artistic practices, technologies, theory, artistic collaboration and digital media. The plethora and availability of digital tools and practices have transformed the ways art is created, perceived and disseminated. This had a distinct impact on how research is conducted across the arts and humanities as a whole, from practice-led to process-focused and people-centered research. To this end, an interactive format of hands-on workshops, papers and a performance session will lay the foundations for a creative dialogue among artists, theorists, academics and practitioners. The aim is to debate on key practical and philosophical challenges that contribute to the broader discussion of what it means to use digital tools as a form of artistic inquiry. This conference will provide an arena for academics across disciplines for extending the debate of interdisciplinary practices and their appropriate methods as well as their potential. We welcome and encourage proposals for papers across a wide range of related subject areas – such as fine and digital media art, architectural design, music and sound studies, geography, anthropology, cultural and film studies. The themes of the conference are: * The intersection of art and science * Digital arts and urbanism * Data analysis in art practice * Computation and creative processes Keynotes: Nicolas Donin (IRCAM, Paris), Peter Sinclair (Locus Sonus Sound Lab), Jen Southern (CeMoRe, Lancaster University), Trevor Wishart (Institute of Sonology) and Chris Speed (ECA, Design Informatics).

Please do join us if you're able to... Experiencing Digital Culture Jussi Parikka and Tony D. Sampson’s work has threaded its way through the digital cultures field by means of a series of radical interventions, drawing on such concepts as anomalies, accidents, assemblages, contagions, events, nonrepresentation, affect and neuroculture, in order to critically rethink how the power of the digital age is experienced and embodied. In this discussion the two theorists follow some of these fibrous conceptual strands as they intersect and overlap with each other in two recent publications: the new revised edition of Parikka’s landmark Digital Contagions: A Media Archaeology of Computer Viruses<https://www.peterlang.com/view/product/70580?tab=aboutauthor> (Peter Lang, 2016) and Sampson’s new book, The Assemblage Brain: Sense Making in Neuroculture<https://www.upress.umn.edu/book-division/books/the-assemblage-brain> (University of Minnesota Press, 2016). The discussion will be followed by a joint book launch and drinks in the Somerset Café.
