Call for papers: Besides the Screen 2012
Conference: Goldsmiths College, University of London, 1-2 December
Workshops/Performances: Deckspace Media Lab, 27-30 November

Following the success of the event organized in 2010, Goldsmiths
College hosts a new edition of the interdisciplinary conference for
all forms of cinema that exist beside and between screens.

Besides the Screen attempts to understand the continuing
transformation of audiovisual media practices. The conference’s
ever-expanding constellation of topics revolves around techniques of
projection, the centrality of marginal processes, and the manifold
systems of movie storage and transmission (as well as their possible
materialities).

This second edition will take on a particularly reflexive character,
reconfiguring traditional objects while exploring side-by-side
theoretical and practical methods of academic research.

In this spirit, a two-day seminar will be coupled with week-long
workshops taking place at the dek.spc.org media lab. During these
workshops, participants will experiment with media art 'hacking'
practices on moving images, as well as explore open video and active
archiving methods.

To propose a paper for the seminar, a workshop for the media lab, or
an AV performance, submit your abstract (250-400 words) along with a
short bio (100 words) to submissions at bts.re.

Deadline for submission: 7th September 2012

Keywords: movie regulation, distribution, projection, exhibition,
archiving, codification, subtitling, remixing, software, free and open
sources, film archives, art galleries, public spaces, the Internet,
