CALL FOR PROPOSALS to host the 9th International Conference on the
Histories of Media Art, Science and Technology: Re: 2022
 
The Media Art Histories Board invites applications to host the 9th
International Conference on the Histories of Media Art, Science and
Technology.
 
The international conference series, which was inaugurated in 2005 in
Banff, Canada, has since been held in several international venues
around the globe including Berlin in 2007, Melbourne 2009, Liverpool
2011, Riga 2013, Montreal 2015, Krems/Vienna 2017, and Aalborg 2019. A
significant MediaArtHistories stream will be held in Brazil at CIHA in
2021 and the call for proposals to host the 9th international conference
is currently open. The conference series aims to engage the growing
community of scholars from a range of disciplines including art history,
contemporary art practice, art theory, history of science, history of
technology, science and technology studies, media studies, image
science, visual studies, philosophy, cultural studies, anthropology,
architecture theory, sound studies, computer science among others to
develop and share new research and scholarship in the intersecting
fields of the histories of media art, science and technology. The host
of the conference in 2019 will have the opportunity to continue to build
on the impressive history of the conference series.
