Call for Papers - Cambridge Scholars Publishing Ltd.
Performing Technology: User Content and the New Digital Media
This is a call for papers to appear in an edited volume with the
provisional title of “Performing Technology: User Content and the New
Digital Media”
to be published at the end of 2009 by Cambridge Scholars Publishing
Ltd. (www.c-s-p.org).
The call was developed for the The Two-Thousand + NINE Symposium (http://twothousand.wordpress.com
) which will take place in Belfast at the Sonic Arts Research Center
on May, 16th 2009 (Co-hosted by the European 2007 project CO-ME-DI-A -
Cooperation and Mediation in Digital Arts: www.comedia.eu.org/co/comedia-home.html)
This symposium will feature invited researchers from fields as diverse
as music, architecture, design, philosophy, dance or technology to
address the interface between creative practice and user-led content
in new media.
It is envisaged that selected papers from this symposium will feature
alongside other selected submissions.
All papers published in the journal will have to undergo a peer review
process, based on initial editor screening.
All articles must address the theme of the symposium and must be
between 3-5000 words in length.
Symposium Theme:
Dissemination of "content" has dramatically been challenged by
environments such as Facebook, Youtube and Second Life as these
introduce notionally open platforms that live off content created by
users. Although user generated content has fulfilled the engagement
requirement of many social networking environments, a question emerges
in relation to the role of creative practice in a context which
promotes malleable, transitory and user-led media. In a world of post-
personalisation, digital media is faced with issues of locality,
context and mobility. Although numerous applications have been built
on creating environments within which personal preferences, approaches
or visions can be implemented, the question of how design processes
and creative practice strategies address these new media is still
unanswered.
- How do notions of open form and interactive media relate to user-
centred interaction design?
- What does the shift from object to environment imply for
contemporary artistic practice?
- How can we develop design strategies for addressing rich media
environments which incorporate user-generated, locative and sensor-
based content?
Deadlines:
The deadlines for this call are as follows:
500 word abstract (emailed in word or pdf format) to the editor: April
