Calls for papers--Art, technology, and moving images

I was trawling the SHOT web site, and thought these three calls might
be of interest to the conservation community.

  1. Art and Technology: In the Age of Information
  Liverpool, UK - 1-3 July 1998

    This conference is aimed at a wide range of participants. In
    addition to academic specialists in areas such as Art Theory and
    History, Cultural/Media Studies, Sociology, Philosophy,
    Psychology, and Literature, we would like to invite artists,
    technologists, art critics, art teachers as well as interested
    members of the public to take part in this conference. Indeed,
    one of our main aims is to create discussion among these
    different groups about art and technology in the age of
    information.

    Contributions for this conference are therefore invited from all
    the different groups mentioned above. The form of such
    contributions is negotiable. While we invite the academic paper
    that will analyse the art-technology-information relationship in
    conceptually imaginative and provocative ways, we also invite
    contributions that will express and explore the conference theme
    in visual forms e.g., demonstrations, small exhibitions,
    performances, computer installations, etc. If you are not sure
    about the appropriateness of your intended contribution, please
    feel free to contact one of the organisers informally (see
    contact details below).

    Five copies of a one-page abstract of your contribution are
    required by Saturday, 31st January, 1998. If you are unsure
    about the suitability of your contribution, please contact one
    of the organisers well before this date. Five copies of your
    abstract should be sent to:

    Toby Jackson
    Tate Gallery Liverpool
    Albert Dock Liverpool L3 4BB U.K.

  2. Technologies of Moving Images
  Stockholm, 6-9 December 1998

    Proposals are invited on the representation, reception,
    deployment and dissemination of cinematographic technologies
    from pre-cinema to digital culture. The conference is organised
    by the Institute of Futures Studies and Department of Cinema
    Studies, Stockholm University. The emphasis will be on the
    inter-relationships between technologies, style and reception;
    continuities and/or ruptures; the representational interface
    between technologies - telegraph, telephone, television, video,
    computers and self-reflexive films; technologies and gender;
    technologies and bodies. Other key words are: attractions,
    narrative vehicles, documentaries, monitoring devices.

    Keynote addresses will be given by Lisa Cartwright, Don Crafton,
    Emily Godbey, Tom Gunning, Mikhail Iampolski, Trond Lundemo,
    Peter Lunenfeld, Stephen Mamber, Lev Manovich, Michael Renov,
    Lynn Spigel, Roman Timenchik, Yuri Tsivian, and William
    Uricchio. Their texts will be published by University of
    California Press, in an anthology edited by Jan Olsson.
    Conference proceedings will be published, edited by John
    Fullerton and Astrid Sderbergh Widding.

    Those wishing to put forward a paper should submit a 200 word
    abstract (for a 20 minute presentation) to the conference
    co-ordinator, Elaine King, Department of Cinema Studies, Box
    27062, 102 51 Stockholm, Sweden: Fax: +46 8 6650723
    <Elaine.King [at] mail__film__su__se> no later than 6 April 1998. The
    abstract should state the title of the proposed paper and
    indicate what media (film, slide, video, cd-rom etc) will be
    used in the presentation.

    Further conference details will be available early 1998. Please
    contact the conference organiser if you would like to be
    included on the mailing list.

  3. New Technologies and Art in the Twentieth Century

    The Center for the History of Business, Technology, and Society
    at the Hagley Museum and Library in Wilmington, Delaware invites
    proposals for the conference, "New Technologies and Art in the
    Twentieth Century," to be held Friday, October 30, 1998. We
    invite proposals which provide a historical and contextual
    perspective on artistic uses of new materials, the appropriation
    of machines in art, and electronic media. Papers on
    representations of technology in art are discouraged. Funds may
    be available to support travel to the conference by speakers.

    Paper proposals are due by March 2, 1998. Proposals should
    include an abstract of no more than 500 words and a brief c.v.
