<span>Re-Create 2015, the sixth international Conference on the
Histories of Media, Art Science and Technology will mark the 10th
Anniversary of the Re conference series. Re-Create 2015 is devoted
to exploring 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.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-size:12px;font-family:Tahoma;min-height:14px">
<span><br></span></p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-size:12px;font-family:Tahoma"><span>The
title Re-Create is an abbreviation for the term
“research-creation”, part of a growing international movement which
goes by many names: “practice-led research,” “research-led
practice,” and “artistic research,” among others.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-size:12px;font-family:Tahoma;min-height:14px">
<span><br></span></p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-size:12px;font-family:Tahoma"><span>While
the link between research and practice seems to be a new horizon,
the media-based arts have long been at the intersection of the
humanities, sciences, and engineering and present a critical site
in which to take up the changing relationships between knowledge,
power, and economy.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-size:12px;font-family:Tahoma;min-height:14px">
<span><br></span></p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-size:12px;font-family:Tahoma">
<span>Research normally signifies modes of acquiring new knowledge
that coherently and systematically advance a field and is grounded
and validated by both social frameworks (peers) and existing bodies
of knowledge. Similarly, research in conjunction with material
practice demands that making be historically, theoretically and
methodologically framed and valorized.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-size:12px;font-family:Tahoma;min-height:14px">
<span><br></span></p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-size:12px;font-family:Tahoma">
<span>Re-Create 2015 seeks to interrogate the historical
entanglement of research and making within a wide and diverse set
of international sites, disciplines and contexts: from
non-institutional creative research initiatives driven by artists
and designers in the streets, to the labyrinths of industry funded
research labs and universities. From unknown or ignored histories
of research-based practices in Latin America, Asia and Indigenous
communities to government funded initiatives, the conference will
thus critically explore the ongoing and productive tensions between
theory, method and making in the histories of media, art, science
and technology.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-size:12px;font-family:Tahoma;min-height:14px">
<span><br></span></p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-size:12px;font-family:Tahoma">
<span>Potential contributors to the conference should focus
thematic panel sessions or individual papers on one of the
following areas of concentration:</span></p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-size:12px;font-family:Tahoma">
<span><span style="text-decoration:underline">LAB STUDIES</span> :
Studies on how artists and designers have historically worked in
industry, universities and collective, grass roots-based research
environments</span></p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-size:12px;font-family:Tahoma">
<span style="text-decoration:underline">CURATORIAL ACTIONS AND
PRACTICES</span> : How have research paradigms historically entered
into curatorial practices and how have they been framed, exhibited
and articulated?</p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-size:12px;font-family:Tahoma">
<span style="text-decoration:underline">ANTI-INSTITUTIONAL
RESEARCH</span> : Historical profiles of non-institutionally based
research-driven explorations.</p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-size:12px;font-family:Tahoma">
<span style="text-decoration:underline">THEORETICAL
FRAMEWORKS</span> : How have theoretical paradigms in media, art,
science and technology historically evolved structuralism in the
1960s or media studies to current work in affect theory, media
archaeology, critical post-humanist approaches derived from STS,
appropriation and remix aesthetics, feminist new materialism, queer
and postcolonial studies, enactive and distributed cognition?</p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-size:12px;font-family:Tahoma">
<span style="text-decoration:underline">METHODOLOGIES</span> : What
can methodological tools emerging from the human and social
sciences like ethnography, historiography, archaeology, genealogy
and other qualitative techniques provide to the historical and
critical positioning of practice?</p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-size:12px;font-family:Tahoma">
<span style="text-decoration:underline">INTERDISCIPLINARY
INTERSECTIONS AND IMPACTS</span> : Exploration of the formation and
rise of interdisciplinary research fields (image science, sound
studies, science studies, sensory studies, environmental studies)
and their impact on the construction of media art histories.</p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-size:12px;font-family:Tahoma">
<span style="text-decoration:underline">DIGITAL HUMANITIES</span> :
What is the historical relationship between the digital humanities
and the histories of media, art, science and technology?</p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-size:12px;font-family:Tahoma">
<span style="text-decoration:underline">SITES</span>: How
historically have sites of research and practice in media art,
science and technology evolved outside of the predominant spheres
of Europe and North America and what forms have they taken?</p>

<b>CONFERENCE PROGRAM </b></p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-size:12px;font-family:Tahoma">The
conference program will include competitively selected
peer-reviewed individual papers, panel presentations and poster
sessions as well as a number of keynotes and invited speakers and a
parallel satellite program of events with Hexagram partners
including core cultural institutions in Montreal. In the interest
of maintaining a concentrated conference program, there will be a
series of plenary sessions as well as accompanying poster sessions.
Each of the plenaries as well as the poster sessions will mix
together scholars and practitioners representing different cultural
perspectives. The conference will be held in English and French,
with live translation.</p>

2015 welcomes contributions from researchers, artists, designers,
scholars and technologists working across diverse disciplines,
sites and practices. We particularly encourage scholars and
creators from international contexts outside of Europe and North
America.</p>

THE CONTEXT AND THE HOST</b></p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-size:12px;font-family:Tahoma">The
conference will take place in Montreal hosted by Hexagram, the
international network for media, art, design and digital culture
(<a href="http://hexagram.ca">http://hexagram.ca</a>). It is the
largest network of its kind in Canada and one of the largest
internationally dedicated to research-led creative practices. Ten
years after the inaugural Re-Fresh conference at the Banff New
Media Institute in 2005, the return of the conference to Canada and
specifically to Quebec, offers a pertinent context to address the
evolution of research in the histories of media, art, science and
technology (<a href="http://www.mediaarthistory.org/mah-conf-series">http://www.mediaarthistory.org/mah-conf-series</a>).The
conference will be held across the two core Hexagram sites at
Concordia University and the Université du Québec à Montréal
(UQAM). The venues are within walking distance from each other,
centrally located in vibrant, downtown Montreal – the digital arts
and culture capital of North America.</p>
