Dear CRUMB list
this call for papers for RENEW in Riga in 2013 (below) is not to be confused with the upcoming (this weekend and next week) re-new event in Denmark which also looks great! If anyone is going, please report back! and do put a paper in for RENEW about curating (Archiving, preserving and representing new media art).
best,
Sarah

re-new 2012
The annual re-new digital arts festival presents a wide selection of the newest ground-breaking works in digital music, video, installations, performative, and distributed / collaborative art.
With the theme Cybernetics revisited – towards a third order? we want to take the early cybernetics’ vision of an imaginative model of open-ended experimentation further into the interactive media art field, for artistic considerations, discussions and novel experimentation. Media artists, visual artists, performers, musicians, composers and others working in digital media in its many forms will meet during the event which takes place in Copenhagen, Denmark
November 19-22 2012
in connection with IMAC 2012. We aim to present groundbreaking works in combinations of digitally enhanced music, video and installations in collaborative, distributed and site-specific art. Emphasis is on non-traditional genres, and submissions are accepted in all categories imaginable: we want works that challenge and expand current vocabulary and practice of digital creation, presentation, performance and consumption.

> Call for Abstracts:
> Media Art Histories 2013: RENEW
> The 5th International Conference on the Histories of Media Art, Science and Technology
>
> Riga, October 8 - 11, 2013
>
> The 5th International Conference on the Histories of Media Art, Science and Technology, Renew, will be hosted by RIXC and held in Riga, Latvia, October 8 - 11, 2013, coinciding with the international festival for new media culture Art+Communication. It will host three days of keynotes, panels and poster sessions on the histories of networked digital, electronic and technological media arts.
>
> Besides general topics of the call, the theme of Renew, Media Art History 2013 addresses current tendencies in sustainability quests from various perspectives. As media art is based on increasingly out-dating technology and it is dependent on energy (electricity) the conference will discuss sustainable approaches towards the issues of producing, preserving and representing media artworks - how to 'renew' them through both - tools and histories. By focusing on networked media arts, the Renew conference will cover a broad range of topics to include early communication art (mail, fax, radio, satellite, etc.), net.art and net.radio, open source and network culture, locative media and wireless communities, hybrid networks and electromagnetic art, and last but not least - artistic investigations in sustainability, and future visions of art within the convergence of information and energy technologies.
