print / downloadThe 11th International Conference on the Histories of Media Art, Science and Technology titled Re:generative will take place in Colombia during May 2025.
In a context of profound changes and transformations, the regenerative is presented as an alternative to restore, renew or reconstruct lost or invisible memories. From the perspective of sustainability, the regenerative implies thinking about actions that imply survival as a vital matter of engendering for its re-existence.
The organizing committee invites researchers of different areas, disciplines and practices to submit individual papers, posters and full panels with new and original research preferably in the following themes:
– Expanded communities, rhizomatic participation and creation.
– Circular dynamics, autonomous economies and practices
– Resilient ecosystems and adaptive systems
– Open knowledge: consilience between design, art and science
– Innovation based on the reinterpretation and validity of ancestral memory
Conference language is English and Spanish with simultaneous translation between the two languages available during the conference.
Re.generative 2025 will be held in conjunction with the 24th International Image Festival, organized by the University of Caldas, in Manizales, and the University of Bogota Jorge Tadeo Lozano. (Link to Festival) Re.generative conference delegates will have ample opportunities to also attend artistic activities (exhibitions, concerts, Media Art shows, among others).
