[spectre] Photomediations: symposium & launch of an open access book, Goldsmiths, 19 Feb.

[Joanna Zylinska]

Dear All,

I have the pleasure to announce the publication of an edited collection 
titled /Photomediations: A Reader/ that gathers 20 scholarly and 
curatorial texts on the relationship between photography and other 
media.  The book is available on an open access basis - i.e. it's free 
to download in a pdf format. You can also buy a paper copy.

We're holding a symposium to celebrate the launch of the book and to 
discuss photography in a dynamic framework of photomediations on the 
19th February 2016 at Goldsmiths. Please come and join us. And please 
download the book!

Best,
Joanna

PHOTOMEDIATIONS: A SYMPOSIUM AND BOOK LAUNCH

19 February 2016, 3pm-7pm

Goldsmiths, University of London, Room PSH326

FREE AND OPEN TO ALL. NO NEED TO REGISTER.

Come and join us for a half-day symposium exploring the relationship 
between photography and other media, and celebrating the launch of the 
open access book,/Photomediations: A Reader/ (London: Open Humanities 
Press, 2016), edited by Kamila Kuc and Joanna Zylinska (free to download):
http://www.openhumanitiespress.org/books/titles/photomediations/

The concept of photomediations brings together the hybrid ontology of 
‘light-based media’ and the fluid dynamism of ‘mediation’. The papers 
presented in the symposium will challenge the traditional classification 
of photography as suspended between art and social practice in order to 
capture the dynamism of the photographic medium today. They will also 
explore photography’s kinship with other media – and with us, humans, 
/as media/.

NB. Due to Crossrail works there will be no London Overground service to 
Goldsmiths on 19.02: you’ll need to take a replacement bus, or travel 
one stop on the train from London Bridge to New Cross instead.

Space, a project funded by the European Union's ICT Policy Support 
Programme under GA n° 621037.
