Call for Papers
At a time of greater and ever deeper
interest in the impact of information technologies on contemporary
society, the International Conference on Art, Museums and Digital
Cultures aims to provide a space for the discussion of current issues
and projects relating to the crossover between artistic practices and
the institutional sphere, with a particular focus on art museums. How
are museums, curators and the artists themselves responding to the
opportunities, but also the risks, of the so-called “digital
transformation”?
Recognising
the complexity and plurality of digital cultures, the conference will
discuss recent or ongoing research works in different geographies and
cultural contexts.
We invite
scholars, independent researchers, digital media specialists, curators
and artists to submit proposals for a 15-minute in-person or online
presentation, focusing on one or more of the conference topics.
Organisation: maat - Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology and Institute of Art History, School of Social Sciences and Humanities, Universidade NOVA de Lisboa.
Partner institution: Instituto Superior Técnico, Universidade de Lisboa.
Deadline for abstract submission: 21 December 2020
