**Registration is now open**


The 8th International Conference on the Histories of Media Art, Science
and Technology - RE:SOUND -  will be hosted by Aalborg University.
Following Banff 2005, Berlin 2007, Melbourne 2009, Liverpool 2011, Riga
2013, Montreal 2015 and Krems/Göttweig/Vienna 2017, Aalborg University
invite you to attend RE:SOUND MAH2019 in Aalborg, Denmark.

The histories of art are saturated by sonic experiments and expressions
(Kahn, Weibel). Yet, the occurrence of sound in art throughout the 18th,
19th and 20th century remains heavily under-theorized and
-contextualized, just as it is all but missing in existing archives
(with few important, albeit resent, exceptions). The ‘matter’ of sonic
saturation and its interlinked under-theorized situation, does not only
concern the musicologists and a small specialized field of sound
researchers; it is, or should be, the matter and concern of the whole
media arts field: it speaks to its very foundation in transmedia issues
and different understanding of the plurality of the histories
contextualizing technologically mediated art. Through its
techno-resonating immersion, media art reverberates in all cultural and
societal matters on a pervasive scale.

The RE:SOUND conference is part of the Media Arts Histories conference
series <http://www.mediaarthistory.org/mah-conf-series>, bringing
together leading researchers, artists, and scientists on a series of
interdisciplinary topics for over 14 years. RE:SOUND, the 8th conference
in this series, will take a specific interest on the theories,
practices, histories etc. of art and technology which are focusing on,
concerned with, reflecting on, including, mobilising and/or working with
sound, as a main component or an integral part. RE:SOUND will host four
days with 9 tracks of paper sessions, panels, workshops, practice-based
interventions, exhibitions, performances, poster sessions, a PhD
workshop and keynotes.
