**LAST DAY -- call for Media Art Histories 2013: RENEW conference 
abstracts!**

*
MEDIA ART HISTORIES 2013: RENEW* *
The 5th International Conference on the Histories of Media Art, Science 
and Technology*
*October 8 -- 11, 2013, Riga, Latvia*

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.

*Confirmed keynote speakers:*

Prof. Dr. Peter WEIBEL / ZKM,
Prof. Dr. Erkki HUHTAMO / UCLA,
& t.b.a.

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


* * *

*EXTENDED DEADLINE for abstracts: February 15, 2013.*

Notification of acceptance will be announced by March 25, 2013.
