Recognizing the increasing significance of media art for our culture, this conference series on the
Histories of Media Art will discuss for the first time the history of media art within the interdisciplinary and
intercultural contexts of the histories of art. Numerous individuals and institutions collaborate to
produce the international art history conference series covering art and new media, art and technology,
art-science interaction, and the history of media as pertinent to contemporary art.

Conference Series on the Histories of Media Art, Science and Technology - Mission

 

 

The fourth International Conference on the Histories of Media Art, Science and Technology, Rewire, will be hosted by FACT and held in Liverpool, UK, from 29th September to 2nd October 2011, coinciding with the AND (Abandon Normal Devices) festival. A new widespread condition of sociability invites a questioning of the role of media art practice and new media histories in the context of wider cultural and technological developments, and Rewire aspires to do just that. A call for papers will be announced in September 2010 - for further information please email us.
