[Oliver Grau]

*Media Art Histories : Re-CREATE 2015 *
The 6th International and 10th anniversary Conference on the Histories
of
Media Art, Science and Technology

**MONTREAL, Canada - November 5 - 8, 2015**

The 6th International Conference on the Histories of Media Art, Science
and
Technology - Re-CREATE, will be hosted by Hexagram - the International
Network for Research-Creation in Media Arts, Design, Technology and
Digital
Culture, and held jointly at Concordia University and Université du
Québec
à Montréal (UQAM). Following Banff 2005, Berlin 2007, Melbourne 2009,
Liverpool 2011 and Riga 2013, the Media Art History Boards and
Re-Create
Co-Chairs invite you to attend Re-Create 2015 in Montreal.

Re-Create proposes the central question of what theories, methodologies
and
techniques can be used to understand past, present and indeed, future
paradigms of creative material practice involving technologies within
research contexts, from a historical and critical point of view.
Given the  quebec and canadian origin of research-creation, Montreal
offers
a unique and vibrant context in which to continue to discuss issues
and
practices of research-creation from the perspectives of different
disciplines. Re-Create will host four days of keynotes, panels,
workshops
and exhibitions on the histories of networked digital, electronic and
technological media arts.

**SESSIONS:* *

*:: Theoretical Currents : *How do the Senses, Animals and the
Apocalypse inform research-creation practices ?

*:: Sites : *How have sites of research and practice evolved in Latin
America,
Eastern Europe, Japan, Sweden and Indigenous Cultures?

*:: Histories of the Studio Lab : *How have Australian, British,
Canadian and
American artists historically worked in academia, industry and
generative art?

*:: New Methods : *What can the concept of co-production (STS),
musique concrète, intersectionality theory and critical race studies,
as well as the debates
about the “practice turn” in higher education provide to the
historical and
critical positioning of practice?

*:: Digital Humanities and Critical Practices : *What are the
challenges and
the future of transdisciplinary collaboration? What can media
archeology do
for the humanities and contemporary academic culture? How has failure
impacted practice-led research?

*:: Curatorial Actions and Practices : *How have philosophy, industrial
creation, 
feminism, sound and “imageness” historically entered into
curatorial practices?
