WRITING INTERSECTIONS
Melbourne, Australia Conference
Swinburne University of Technology
November 18-19, 2009
FOCUS
The fields of Art, Media and Design engage in the creative production of
digital and material artefacts that reproduce and resist existing
discourses. The text genres that accompany this artefactual creativity
also enter into reproductive and contrasting relations with project
work. ArtMediaDesign | Writing Intersections offers a two day conference
space to explore and theorize the theoretical and applied consequences
of this text|artefact intersection. We invite faculty, practitioners and
students to join us in Melbourne (Australia) to explore these issues.
Writing Intersections follows immediately after the Cumulus09 Melbourne
(RMIT/Swinburne) Conference and we encourage you to attend both events.
