CALL FOR PAPERS: DEADLINE JULY 30, 2006
"Art in the Age of Technological Seduction"
Fall 2006 issue of NMC media-N: journal of the new media caucus
Guest Editors: Legier Biederman and Joshua Callaghan
http://www.newmediacaucus.org/media-n/call.htm
The fall 2006 issue of Media-N, =93Art in the Age of Technological =20
Seduction,=94 is a collaborative platform, a diverse questioning, re-=20
considering and re-imaging of what, when and how new media arts =20
practice is viewed by artists, practitioners, theorists, critics and =20
historians working in the field today. We seek a broad range of =20
contributions discussing the scope, values, and definitions of =20
diverse new media arts practices and hope that this issue of Media-N =20
will be a departure as much as much as an arrival. Four general =20
questions have been posed by the members of the new media caucus as =20
points of entry for an engaging, vibrant discussion.
The issue will be divided into two sections: The first section =20
invites brief personal accounts and anecdotal responses addressing =20
and/or expanding one of the four questions, and we encourage everyone
=20=
to respond to this section, as we=92d like to include as many responses
=20=
as possible. The second section invites papers that address these =20
questions in a more lengthy and detailed form.
Four Questions:
1. Defining and Re-imagining
What are new media arts? Is it necessary that we define new media =20
arts? How do we begin to discuss or teach new media arts? What sets =20
new media arts apart from other disciplines or practices, or what =20
connects them? What's (still) new about new media or what was, if =20
anything ever was? What defines your work as new media art and why?
=20=
How do you explain new media arts to your students and colleagues? =20
What did or currently does attract you to new media arts practices?
2. Discourses on New Media Arts: What do the discourses do to the =20
practice? How might one describe or define the discourse/s on new =20
media arts? How does new media arts discourse relate to new media =20
practices? In other words, what does the discourse/s do or attempt to
=20=
do to new media arts? Are theory and practice being brought together =20
in new media arts discourse, and if not, how might we begin to do so?
=20=
What do you find interesting or problematic about new media arts =20
discourses? Do you think there is a disjuncture between new media =20
arts practice and the discourses on it? As a new media artist, do new
=20=
media arts discourses affect your practice?
3. Authorship, Relationships & Relationality
Does your work maintain a traditional relationship between the
artist/=20=
author/producer and the spectator/viewer? If not, how does it =20
transgress these boundaries? Do you feel it necessary to challenge =20
these boundaries? Do you consider relationality, the non-hierarchical
=20=
intertwining of data, artwork, artists, and viewers etc., an =20
important aspect of your work? In what context/s is your work shown =20
and how does effect it. How do recombinatory practices commonly =20
found in new media such as sampling, appropriation, and mash-ups, =20
challenge traditional author/viewer conventions? While autonomy and =20
relationality have long lineages in art history, how do they function
=20=
within new media arts practices and discourses?
4. E-litism: Technospheres and the Everyday
How do notions of location, language, identity, and cultural =20
understandings of communication inform or effect new media practices?
=20=
Who is left out of, disproportionately under-represented, in the =20
world of new media art practices? Is, as some have argued, the =20
openness often associated with information technologies and new media
=20=
practices, paradoxically, replacing the national politics of a past =20
with the global connectivity of cosmopolitan tourism? How does your =20
particular specificity (sexual, gender, ethnic, racial, class) affect
=20=
your practice, your work or its reception?
Event reviews: The editorial board also invites proposals for reviews
=20=
of exhibitions/events/ festivals/conferences, etc.
