::: Call :::
Following the success of Media Art History 05 Re:fresh in Banff and
Media Art History 07 Re:place in Berlin, Media Art History 09 Re:live in
Melbourne will host three days of keynotes, panels and poster sessions
Media Art History 09 - Re:live, a refereed conference, is calling for
papers, panels and posters on the histories of digital, electronic and
technological media arts. With the theme of Re:live we are especially
interested in expanding the range of topics to include sustainability,
live arts and the technological arts of life, both organic and
nonorganic.
--How do the media arts change? Through innovation, accident,
discovery, mutation or crisis? How did contemporary media arts come to
look and sound like they do? What options and potentialities and
eccentricities in the history of media have been lost or overlooked or
suppressed? What hopes have been realised and which dashed? What is the
history of speculation on alternate histories, and how have they altered
the course of media art history? 
---Participants are encouraged to look at the themes suggested to
address in submitting abstracts at www.mediaarthistory.org  
----We particularly wish to encourage presentations from and about
these histories in the Asia-Pacific region. Proposals are welcomed from
artists, curators, arts organizers and researchers in media, art
history, performance studies, literature, film, and science and
technology studies.

Abstracts of 200 words can be submitted as text, rtf, pdf or doc files
via the dedicated website with updates and online paper submission
system at www.mediaarthistory.org.

Sean Cubitt and Paul Thomas, conference co-chairs.
