CFP: Inscriptions '04 (TRNC) (1/31/04; 6/3/04 - 6/4/04)
CALL FOR PAPERS
Performance, installation, and digital art
A Panel Discussion at INSCRIPTIONS '04: an Arts and Culture Conference and
Festival
at Eastern Mediterranean University
in Famagusta, on the island of Cyprus
June 3rd- 4th, 2004, organized by the Department of English Literature and
the Humanities
The seventh annual Literature and Humanities Conference will be held at
Eastern Mediterranean University under the heading Inscriptions '04 and will
take place at the university and environs between June 3rd - 4th, 2004. In
conjunction with a wide selection of music, performance and film events,
discussion- friendly papers are being solicited for our symposium. Although
we will be publishing selected presentations from Inscriptions '04, we
encourage participants to move away from the standard prewritten, "finished
paper" format, towards a more open-ended presentation, which will provoke
and contribute to a genuine exchange of research and ideas during the panel
sessions. Our aim is to create a forum and publishing venue for inspiring
work in progress, where the exchange of ideas with fellow academics
participating in the conference will contribute to the final form of
participants' work.
With this in mind, we invite papers and/or presentations that examine the
current status of critical thinking on performance, installation, and
digital art. Possible topics might include but are not limited to:
- media (tv, internet, etc.) intrusion: censorship, privacy
- electronic arts/digital arts/multimedia arts/cyberarts: what's
the difference?
- semiotics and digital art
- spatio-temporal poetics in cyberart
- artificial intelligence and narrative
- digital alterations to "voice"
- logocentricism and technology
- the subversive/revolutionary/political importance of performance
art
- the hamburger and Paul McCarthy
- authority in the catalogue essay
- assessing Greenaway's Tulse Luper Suitcase
- visual pleasure: gendered gazes and coloured spectacles
- digital animation/animated technology
- technologies of intervention
- silence and technology
- new sensory experience and conceptualization
- public/private exhibitions spaces: differences between the art
gallery and virtual environments
- Plato, art and performance
- theatrical drama and new technologies
- copyright in the digital age
- hypertext pedagogy
