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.


Proposed topics:

* Histories of networked art and media technologies

* Archiving, preserving and representing new media art

* Media archaeology

* Paradigm shift - from new media to post-media conditions in art

* Writing histories of media art across Eastern Europe and the Baltics

* Revising the geospatial aspects - for writing comparative media art
histories

* Resilient networks and emerging 'techno-ecological' art practices

* Multifarious potential of expression in media art - 'new imagery'
of our times


* * *

DEADLINE for abstract proposals: January 25, 2013.
Notification of acceptance will be announced in March 25, 2013.

Individual proposals should consist of a 250-word abstract with title.
Proposals and inquiries regarding submissions should be made on
<http://www.mediaarthistory.org>www.mediaarthistory.org web-site.

* * *

Selected papers from the conference will be published in Acoustic
Space and other venues. Founded in 1998 by E-Lab as artistic journal
for sound art, networked audio experiments and new media culture,
since 2007 Acoustic Space comes out as peer-reviewed journal for
transdisciplinary research on art, science, technology and society,
published by RIXC & Art Research Lab of Liepaja University.

* * *

The conference will be complemented by a variety of affiliated
