SPACE : NETWORK : MEMORY

Mesh Cities Christchurch : ADA Network Symposium 2013
Dunedin, 13-15 September.
Proposal abstracts due 10 June, 2013

Space : Network : Memory is the 8th ADA Network symposium. ADA symposia
have a formidable reputation for critical collegial exchange within the
expanded field of digital and media arts. This September in Dunedin we mark
a decade of ADA Symposia in response to themes generated by the three year
ADA Network research project Mesh Cities Christchurch.

Space : Network : Memory welcomes proposals for provocations, panel
participation and presentations of work engaging with aspects of the broad
range of practices and approaches necessary for rethinking the contemporary
city, the networks that surround and emerge from it, and the memories it
holds.

Space : Network : Memory will include artists, designers, media
practitioners and performers, urban planners, historians, theorists,
curators, writers, educators, and storytellers.

Space : Network : Memory recognises that the situation of post-quake,
post-'blueprint', transitional Christchurch generates problems and
possibilities for all of Aotearoa/New Zealand. The DUNEDIN symposium will
continue this discussion. Dunedin is an historic city with many evident
remains of the past, yet, for seismic and economic reasons these
environments are in transition and their stories are under threat.
Dunedin's historic warehouse precinct is one focus of discussion, and will
feature as a site of conversation. Space : Network : Memory will engage
closely and playfully across Dunedin city.

Space : Network : Memory seeks;

Proposals for short provocations that respond to histories, architectures,
art and media as they interplay and feedback with civic processes, and/or
re-engage people in urban and public spaces.
