Dear all,
Victoria University of Wellington, in conjunction with The Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa welcomes researchers, artists, scientists, educators, curators, designers and producers from academia, public sector organisations, industry, Indigenous/Aboriginal and community organisations, not-for-profit, and art practice organisations into the conference space of the Third International Visual Methods Conference :
Visual Methods in Mediated Environments: Connecting Diverse Worlds
http://visualmethods.org/
To be held in Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand from the 2nd - 6th of September, 2013.
The two prior International Visual Methods Conferences (University of Leeds, UK in 2009 and the Open University, Milton Keynes UK in 2011) demonstrated that visual methods/(audio)visual practices are proliferating. Professional associations, academic disciplines, corporations and institutions of vastly different sizes, with either local or global 'reach' are affected by the rise of 'free-to-use' networking possibilities. This is due to the world-wide take up of social media, increasingly accessed via mobile devices, and the relative low cost of other image/sound recording technologies.
The ubiquity of camera/video capabilities in mobile devices makes visual 'documentation' of events, an any-time, anywhere, activity. We therefore decided to focus the Third International Visual Methods conference on Visual Methods in these Mediated Environments and the opportunities and challenges they pose for connecting diverse worlds. We are particularly curious about what happens when we use visual methods in different ways, in different spaces, and the sometimes, unpredictable effects that these methods can produce.
We have a great line up of keynote speakers, pre-conference workshops and masterclasses, and are working to ensure that alongside the academic core of the conference there will be exhibitions, tours, installations and screenings. We welcome abstracts and proposals and look forward to hearing from you. In the meantime, to be kept up-to-date on announcements and developments, like our FB page.
Warm Aotearoan Greetings,
