SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
September
28 - October 1, Banff New Media Institute, Canada
www.MediaArtHistory.org
?The
technology of the modern media has produced
new possibilities of
interaction. What is needed is a wider view

in the context of the treasures
left us by the past experiences, possessions
and insights."
R. ARNHEIM,

- Honorary Chair, Refresh! ?
Recognizing
the increasing significance of media art for our culture, the conference on the
Histories of Media Art will discuss for the first time the history of media art
within the interdisciplinary and intercultural contexts of the histories of art.
Banff New Media Institute, the Database for Virtual Art, Leonardo/ISAST and
UNESCO DigiArts are collaborating to produce the first international art history
conference covering art and new media, art and technology, art-science
interaction, and the history of media as pertinent to contemporary art.
The
conference will also discuss the documentation, collection, archiving and
preservation of media art. What kind of international networks must be created
to advance appropriate policies for collection and conservation? What kind of
new technologies do we need to optimize research efforts and information
exchange?
Held at
The Banff Centre REFRESH will feature lectures by invited speakers as well as
others selected by an international jury from 350 received paper proposals.
