>
> /symposium and publication/
>
> When and where:
> March 16-17, 2012 in Zagreb, Croatia
>
> This symposium and its topic are a continuation of BADco.'s artistic
> interest to relate performance and image. More concretely, it was
> motivated by our most recent work "Responsibility for Things Seen"
> that was presented in 2011 within the Croatian participation at the
> Biennale di Venezia. The work required us, in the absence of
> performers in the six-months exhibition, to pursue the idea of
> 'theater by other means' and to custom develop a database video system
> that unfolds a particular nexus of body, image and technology.
>
> Who can apply:
> If you are a scholar or practitioner working on the nexus of
> performance, image and technology, if you are working in or between
> any number of fields such as, but not exclusively: performing arts,
> visual arts, cinema and expanded cinema, human-machine interaction,
> technological performance, architecture, neuroscience, we are inviting
> you to present your research interests in form of a presentation
> and/or participate in the debates at our symposium "Actionable Image:
> Agency of Image, Performance of Body, Apparatus of Spectating".
>
> When and where:
> The symposium will take place on 16-17 March 2011 in Zagreb, Croatia.
> The  artistic programme will start on the 15th.
>
> What is the topic:
> With "Actionable Image" we propose to explore the experimental
> encounters between the image and the body -- two modalities of
> organized materiality, agency and receptivity affecting each other,
> two modes of expression whose encounters in our age are predominantly
> arranged, composed and mediated by means of visual technologies.
>
> We tend to subscribe to the critique of the domination of image and
> the scopic regime: the unebbing repetition of hegemonic
> representations, the homogenization of mediatized social experience,
> the habituation of sensory apparatus to technological artifice.
> However, understanding the encounter of image and body as a field of
> performance allows us to explore this encounter beyond the adequation
> of sensory perception to technological apparatus, of social behaviors
> to reproduced images. A mis-encounter where incompatibilites between
> technology and habit, excess of agency on the side of image or on the
> side of spectators, interventions in the transmission process, strange
> situations of viewing emerge, that encounter becomes an indeterminate
> field of negotiation, slippage, misperformance, deterritorialization
> and reterritorialization... In short, a field of divergences that are
> themselves frequent subject to experimentation in art.
> With this other scene of image in mind, we calls for contributions
> that will bring their analysis to bear on situations of problematic
> spectating, strange apparatuses and dispositifs of viewing, agency of
> images, strategies of performing images and other issues relevant to
> the nexus of body, image and technology.
>
> The symposium and attendant artistic programme will include a.o.,
> contributions by artists and scholars such as Jonathan Beller, Maaike
> Bleeker, Vlatka Horvat, Stephen Zepke and BADco.
>
> What are the keywords:
> performance and image, performed image, image in performance, image
> and corporeality, agency of image, actionable image, algorithmic
> cinema, image and interface, iconicity of image, apparatuses and
> dispositifs of viewing, cinematic viewing vs theatrical viewing, image
> and presence/absence...
>
> How to apply and when is the deadline:
> We are looking for contributions of various formats, including but not
> limited to papers, short presentations, demonstrations and
> participation in the debate, up to 30 minutes in length. If you want
> to participate in the symposium, please send us a short note stating
> your topical interests, discussion points, format, etc. and a short
> description of your background. While we cannot cover your expenses,
> we can help you find convenient travel arrangement and affordable
> accommodation, and we will do our best to address your interests and
> provide an insightful debate.
>
> All proposals should be sent in by 10 February 2012 to: tom at badco.hr.
> You'll be notified of our decision shortly thereafter.
