*Media Art Histories : Re-CREATE 2015 *
The 6th International and 10th anniversary Conference on the Histories
of Media Art, Science and Technology
**MONTREAL, Canada - November 5 - 8, 2015**
The 6th International Conference on the Histories of Media Art, Science
and Technology - Re-CREATE, will be hosted by Hexagram - the
International Network for Research-Creation in Media Arts, Design,
Technology and Digital Culture, and held jointly at Concordia University
and Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM). Following Banff 2005, Berlin
2007, Melbourne 2009, Liverpool 2011 and Riga 2013, the Media Art
History Boards and Re-Create Co-Chairs invite you to attend Re-Create
2015 in Montreal. Re-Create proposes the central question of 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. Given the quebec and canadian origin of
research-creation, Montreal offers a unique and vibrant context in which
to continue to discuss issues andpractices of research-creation from the
perspectives of different disciplines. Re-Create will host four days of
keynotes, panels, workshops and exhibitions on the histories of
networked digital, electronic and technological media arts.
 
**SESSIONS:* *
*:: Theoretical Currents : *How do the Senses, Animals and the
Apocalypse inform research-creation practices ?
*:: Sites : *How have sites of research and practice evolved in Latin
America, Eastern Europe, Japan, Sweden and Indigenous Cultures?
*:: Histories of the Studio Lab : *How have Australian, British,
Canadian and American artists historically worked in academia, industry
and generative art?
*:: New Methods : *What can the concept of co-production (STS), musique
concrète, intersectionality theory and critical race studies, as well as
the debates about the "practice turn" in higher education provide to the
historical and critical positioning of practice?
*:: Digital Humanities and Critical Practices : *What 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?
*:: Curatorial Actions and Practices : *How have philosophy, industrial
creation,  feminism, sound and "imageness" historically entered into
curatorial practices?
