[spectre] Call for Papers - Cloud & Molecular Aesthetics

[Lanfranco Aceti]

TRANSDISCIPLINARY IMAGING CONFERENCE

The Transdisciplinary Imaging Conference at the intersections of art,
science and culture seeks papers that explore the theme of the cloud
and molecular aesthetics.

The third international conference on transdisciplinary imaging at the
intersections of art, science and culture will focus on:

~ What is the new objectification of the imaged world around?

~ What are the aesthetic and artistic – the theoretical and the
practical – implications of this new topography of data?

~ What alternative idioms exist to critically consider imagery and image making?

~ What is our contemporary understanding of clouding, assembly and
camouflage in a post material age?

~ How does the cloud phenomenon precipitate thinking about new ways of
curating, publishing and configuring modes of engagement?

The aim of the conference is to bring together artists, theorists,
scholars, scientists, historians and curators.

The conference invites papers that respond to the above provocation in
areas related to: Painting, Drawing, Curating, Installation, Film,
Video, Photography, Computer Visualization, Real-time Imaging,
Intelligent Systems and Image Science.
