A series of on site\u00a0workshops\u00a0<\/strong>will provide opportunities for participants to engage in discussions driven by on-site creative making and experimentation, mediated by practitioners and educators.<\/p>\n Re-Create 2015<\/strong> will mark the 10th Anniversary of the International Conference on the Histories of Media Art, Science and Technology. \u2028The conference will be hosted by two Hexagram sites at Concordia University and Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al (UQAM), core antennas of the largest network dedicated to research-based creative practice in media art, design and technology. The venues are centrally located in vibrant, downtown Montr\u00e9al \u2013 the digital arts capital of North America.<\/p>\n The conference returns to Canada since the inaugural event Refresh! in Banff in 2005 to reflect on and re-examine topics of driving concern that have continually arisen at the previous MAH editions in Berlin (2007), Melbourne (2009), Liverpool (2011) and Riga (2013). The entanglements among practice, theory and method within media art, design, science and technology are increasingly critical to academic and cultural milieus. Concurrently, the inclusion of artistic disciplines involving technological-cultural instruments, concepts and methods is increasingly supported internationally by granting agencies and policy bodies. This has facilitated the emergence of practice-driven research paradigms, along with questions of method, validation, opportunities and problematics that such paradigms imply. Re-Create 2015 seeks to broadly interrogate the historical entanglements of practice-driven research within a wide and diverse set of international sites, disciplines and contexts related to the intertwined histories of media art, science and technology.<\/p>\n Originating in Qu\u00e9bec, Research-Creation is part of the growing global movement in university research contexts to embrace creative practice as a legitimate form of knowledge production within new knowledge societies. Research-Creation is a developing research trend linking the interpretive disciplines (humanities and social sciences) with creative ones (art and design) that involves the creation of knowledge in and through creative material and performative practice. Since 2001, Research-Creation within Hexagram specifically has played a major role in Qu\u00e9bec and Canada enabling and sustaining new forms of art, design and performance to emerge within the framework of technological culture. The theme of Re-Create 2015 continues methodological discussions that Hexagram has conducted over many years involving a range of international scholars, practitioners and local research council policy makers. Re-Create conference thus follows up and extends those discussions by focusing on six core thematic questions:<\/p>\n (1).\u00a0Theoretical Currents<\/strong>\u00a0:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>How do the Senses, Animals and the Apocalypse inform research-creation practices ? (2).\u00a0Site<\/strong><\/span>s<\/strong>\u00a0:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>How have sites of research and practice evolved in\u00a0<\/span>Latin America, Eastern Europe, Japan, Sweden and Indigenous Cultures? (3).\u00a0Histories of the Studio La<\/strong><\/span>b<\/strong>\u00a0:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>How have Australian, British, Canadian and American artists historically worked in academia, industry and generative art?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n (4).\u00a0New Methods :\u00a0<\/strong>What can the concept of co-production (STS),\u00a0<\/span>musique concr\u00e8te,\u00a0<\/i>\u00a0intersectionality theory and critical race studies, as well as the debates about the \u201cpractice turn\u201d in higher education provide to the historical and critical positioning of practice?<\/span><\/p>\n (5).\u00a0Digital Humanities and Critical Practices :<\/strong>\u00a0What are the challenges and the future of transdisciplinary collaboration? What can media archeology do for the humanities and contemporary academic culture? How has failure impacted practice-led research<\/span>?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n (6).\u00a0Curatorial Actions and Practices :\u00a0<\/strong>How have philosophy, industrial creation, feminism, sound and \u201cimageness\u201d historically entered into curatorial practices?<\/span><\/p>\n Program Chair: Dr. Christopher Salter, Co-Director, Hexagram; Associate Professor Design and Computation Arts, Faculty of Fine Arts, Concordia University<\/p>\n Co-Program Chair: Gis\u00e8le Trudel, Professor, \u00a0School of Visual and Media Arts, Arts Faculty, University of Qu\u00e9bec at Montreal.
