MEDIA ART HISTORIES 2019 – RE:SOUND
Call For Papers (deadline extended to 10. November)

The 8th International Conference in the Histories of Media Art, Science and Technology.

Aalborg University, Denmark, August 20-23, 2019

 

The 8th International Conference on the Histories of Media Art, Science and Technology – RE:SOUND – will be hosted by RELATE (Research Laboratory for Art and Technology), Aalborg University and will be held at the CREATE campus, Aalborg, Denmark, August 20-23, 2019 in partnership with the STRUER Sound Art Festival and CATCH – Center for Art & Tech in Elsinor.

RE:SOUND will host four days with 10 tracks of paper sessions, panels, workshops, practice-based interventions, exhibitions, performances, poster sessions, a PhD workshop and keynotes. The tracks were generated based on the first call for topics contextualized under the wide frame of media art history and sound. Each track has several smaller thematic sessions for submissions that are chaired by experts in the field.

Through the 10 tracks (listed below), RE:SOUND MAH2019 calls for proposals that revisit and (re)investigate, through a variety of prisms and on a multiplicity of trajectories, the ontologies and epistemologies of Media Art History as a field of practice and research. Moreover, there are also specific calls for proposals investigating sound in Media Art + theories + histories + practices.

Based on the first call for topics, the call is now open for individual submissions within the following tracks (all of which are further detailed and specified at http://www.mediaarthistory.org/resound-maincall/
