Call for Participation for an International Research Conference and PhD Workshop, to be held at Leuphana University of Lüneburg, Germany, 22-24 November 2012
Organised by:
Digital Aesthetics/Participatory IT Research Centre, Aarhus University
reSource transmedial culture berlin/transmediale festival
Centre for Digital Cultures, Leuphana University of Lüneburg
We hereby invite proposals for participation in a research workshop around the 2013 theme of the transmediale festival, BWPWAP (Back When Pluto Was A Planet). We are addressing researchers with diverse backgrounds interested in opening up some of the paradoxes of contemporary digital art and culture. Although the workshop is primarily aimed at international PhD researchers, it is also open to researchers who are pursuing research without institutional support.
The workshop aims at researching concepts and phenomena that, in the light of the festival’s thematic framework, have become destabilised by network culture and digital media (see below). Thematically, these may include – but are not restricted to:
-
/ techno-cultural displacement and invention
/ fragility of networks
/ disruptive potential of artistic practice
/ paradoxes of digital art and culture
/ organisation after networks
/ participatory research practices
/ research beyond academia
/ network epistemologies
/ networks after social networks
For more information on the workshop call, go to http://www.transmediale.de/node/22286/

Deadline 31 August 2012
