CFP: Futures of Digital Studies 2010


Submitted by Jim Brown on October 19, 2009 - 12:14pm


The University of Florida Digital Ensemble is hosting a conference, Futures of Digital Studies, this February that looks to be a great place to showcase a variety of work in new media and digital studies:

The conference will focus on the dialogue between forms of digital literacy connected with recent technological developments in networked and programmable media in relation to human expression and forms of representation. We seek to put in conversation digital artists and digital critics in order to examine the "state of the art" of digitally mediated practices and to envision possible futures for the current overlapping platforms, software, formats, hardware and artistic processes through which we experience digital culture. The two-day conference's thematic focus on the 'literary' in the digital age is integrated with a fundamental attention to visual art, music and sound, computer science, and other aspects of digital culture through an art exhibit and a concluding roundtable videoconference session with an international group of participants.

We encourage participation in terms of papers presentations and creative works exhibition/presentations.
