<div><font color="#000000">Re-Create 2015, the sixth international
Conference on the Histories of Media, Art Science and Technology will
mark the 10th Anniversary of the Re conference series. Re-Create 2015
is devoted to exploring 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.</font><br>
</div>
<div><font color="#000000"><br></font></div>
<div><font color="#000000">The title Re-Create is an abbreviation for
the term "research-creation", part of a growing international
movement which goes by many names: "practice-led research,"
"research-led practice," and "artistic research," among
others.</font><br>
</div>
<div><font color="#000000"><br></font></div>
<div><font color="#000000">While the link between research and
practice seems to be a new horizon, the media-based arts have long
been at the intersection of the humanities, sciences, and engineering
and present a critical site in which to take up the changing
relationships between knowledge, power, and economy.</font><br>
</div>
<div><font color="#000000"><br></font></div>
<div><font color="#000000">Research normally signifies modes of
acquiring new knowledge that coherently and systematically advance a
field and is grounded and validated by both social frameworks (peers)
and existing bodies of knowledge. Similarly, research in conjunction
with material practice demands that making be historically,
theoretically and methodologically framed and valorized.</font><br>
</div>
<div><font color="#000000"><br></font></div>
<div><font color="#000000">Re-Create 2015 seeks to interrogate the
historical entanglement of research and making within a wide and
diverse set of international sites, disciplines and contexts: from
non-institutional creative research initiatives driven by artists and
designers in the streets, to the labyrinths of industry funded
research labs and universities. From unknown or ignored histories of
research-based practices in Latin America, Asia and Indigenous
communities to government funded initiatives, the conference will thus
critically explore the ongoing and productive tensions between theory,
method and making in the histories of media, art, science and
technology.</font><br>
</div>
<div><font color="#000000"><br></font></div>
<div><font color="#000000">Potential contributors to the conference
should focus thematic panel sessions or individual papers on one of
the following areas of concentration:</font><br>
</div>
<div><font color="#000000">LAB STUDIES : Studies on how artists
and designers have historically worked in industry, universities and
collective, grass roots-based research environments</font><br>
</div>
<div><font color="#000000">CURATORIAL ACTIONS AND PRACTICES : How
have research paradigms historically entered into curatorial practices
and how have they been framed, exhibited and articulated?</font><br>
</div>
<div><font color="#000000">ANTI-INSTITUTIONAL RESEARCH :
Historical profiles of non-institutionally based research-driven
explorations.</font><br>
</div>
<div><font color="#000000">THEORETICAL FRAMEWORKS : How have
theoretical paradigms in media, art, science and technology
historically evolved structuralism in the 1960s or media studies to
current work in affect theory, media archaeology, critical
post-humanist approaches derived from STS, appropriation and remix
aesthetics, feminist new materialism, queer and postcolonial studies,
enactive and distributed cognition?</font><br>
</div>
<div><font color="#000000">METHODOLOGIES : What can
methodological tools emerging from the human and social sciences like
ethnography, historiography, archaeology, genealogy and other
qualitative techniques provide to the historical and critical
positioning of practice?</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000"><br></font></div>
<div><font color="#000000">INTERDISCIPLINARY INTERSECTIONS AND
IMPACTS : Exploration of the formation and rise of
interdisciplinary research fields (image science, sound studies,
science studies, sensory studies, environmental studies) and their
impact on the construction of media art histories.</font><br>
</div>
<div><font color="#000000">DIGITAL HUMANITIES : What is the
historical relationship between the digital humanities and the
histories of media, art, science and technology?</font><br>
</div>
<div><font color="#000000">SITES: How historically have sites of
research and practice in media art, science and technology evolved
outside of the predominant spheres of Europe and North America and
what forms have they taken?</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000"><br></font></div>
<div><font color="#000000"><br></font></div>
<div><font color="#000000"><b>CONFERENCE PROGRAM </b></font><br>
</div>
<div><font color="#000000">The conference program will include
competitively selected peer-reviewed individual papers, panel
presentations and poster sessions as well as a number of keynotes and
invited speakers and a parallel satellite program of events with
Hexagram partners including core cultural institutions in Montreal. In
the interest of maintaining a concentrated conference program, there
will be a series of plenary sessions as well as accompanying poster
sessions. Each of the plenaries as well as the poster sessions will
mix together scholars and practitioners representing different
cultural perspectives. The conference will be held in English and
French, with live translation.</font><br>
</div>
<div><font color="#000000"><br></font></div>
<div><font color="#000000"><b>CALL FOR PROPOSALS</b></font><br>
</div>
<div><font color="#000000">Re-Create 2015 welcomes contributions from
researchers, artists, designers, scholars and technologists working
across diverse disciplines, sites and practices. We particularly
encourage scholars and creators from international contexts outside of
Europe and North America.</font><br>
</div>
<div><font color="#000000"><br></font></div>
<div><font color="#000000"><b>ABOUT THE CONTEXT AND THE
HOST</b></font><br>
</div>
<div><font color="#000000">The conference will take place in Montreal
hosted by Hexagram, the international network for media, art, design
and digital culture (</font><a href="http://hexagram.ca/"><font
color="#000000">http://hexagram.ca</font></a><font color="#000000">).
It is the largest network of its kind in Canada and one of the largest
internationally dedicated to research-led creative practices. Ten
years after the inaugural Re-Fresh conference at the Banff New Media
Institute in 2005, the return of the conference to Canada and
specifically to Quebec, offers a pertinent context to address the
evolution of research in the histories of media, art, science and
technology (</font><a
href="http://www.mediaarthistory.org/mah-conf-series"><font
color="#000000">http://www.mediaarthistory.org/mah-conf-series</font></a
><font color="#000000">).The conference will be held across the two
core Hexagram sites at Concordia University and the Université du
Québec à Montréal (UQAM). The venues are within walking distance
from each other, centrally located in vibrant, downtown Montreal -
the digital arts and culture capital of North America.</font><br>
