[Ada_list] Conf CFP: Born Digital and Cultural Heritage
Apologies for cross postings. Please distribute widely.
CFP: The Born Digital and Cultural Heritage, 19-20 June, 2014, Melbourne
Whilst many artefacts today are produced, distributed and consumed solely in digital form, this situation is not completely new. Artefacts from previous eras have also been 'born' digital. The advent of micro- or home computers in the mid-1970s and 80s, for instance, saw a range of digital artefacts produced, amongst them digital games, demos, and other early software. These objects are complex and interesting as are the preservation challenges they pose. To issues of hardware and software deterioration are added characteristics such as real-time responsiveness, highly-invested fan communities, and the earliness with which decisions about significance and preservation strategies must be arrived at. Games preservation is emerging as an experimental domain where some of the thorniest issues in born digital cultural heritage are confronted. No longer a niche endeavour limited to those who played titles 'back in the day', developments in games preservation and related field
s are of relevance to many different cultural forms, their scholars and custodians. Playability also creates interest in and enlivens the preservation message, making it easier for non-specialists to grasp.
We invite proposals for papers, panels, and workshops for an international conference on The Born Digital and Cultural Heritage, to be held at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image in Melbourne, 19-20 June, 2014. Recognising that born digital artefacts often require multiple sets of expertise, we are keen to receive proposals from researchers and practitioners in the range of disciplines, spheres of practice and institutional contexts concerned with born digital heritage. This includes libraries, archives, museums, galleries, moving image institutions, software repositories, universities, and more besides. Proposals might be theoretical, practical, policy, or otherwise oriented. Case studies of innovative practices, papers based on research with born digital artefacts, and new institutional approaches are equally welcome.
Possible topics include:
* Born digital histories
* Born digital items as cultural heritage
* Changing notions of the collection
* Vernacular digitality
* Selection, appraisal, deposit
* Jurisdictions, overlaps, gaps
* Resourcing, funding, partnerships
* Archiving of media arts, architecture, broadcasting, etc
* Relation of born digital preservation to digitisation programs
* Inter-agency cooperation, federations and networks
* Models of collaboration, outside experts, volunteers
* Access and exhibition
* Legal issues, intellectual property, orphaned works, legal deposit
* Workforce, capacity building, training
* New preservation and conservation techniques
* Case Studies and Best Practices: Processes, Metadata, Systems,
Services, Infrastructures
We hope you will join us to engage with research and practice in those fields which underpin such critically important matters as the accessibility of born digital cultural heritage, now and into the future.
This conference is organised by the Play It Again team, a games history and preservation research project focused on microcomputer games created in 1980s Australia and New Zealand. Play It Again is a multidisciplinary project involving scholars from Humanities, Computer Science, and Law from several Australian and New Zealand universities, working collaboratively with cultural heritage professionals at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, the New Zealand Film Archive, and the Berlin Computerspiele Museum. Play It Again received 3 year project funding (2012-14) under the Australian Research Council's Linkage Projects scheme.
There will be a separate cultural sector workshop on the 18th June at Melbourne University, at which the Play It Again team will be sharing some of the learning from the project.
To propose a paper, please send an abstract of 300 words, plus keywords and references, and a brief author biography to playitagain@flinders.edu.au Abstracts are due 15 November, 2013.

Georgina Brett - Tripping the Edge, In-summoning-Between
Brett's practice explores how the material base of art practice interconnects with making and meaning. The work examines modes of research as evidence within an art practice by considering a form of 'study' as a material dialogue between enquires and making; perception as a synthesis of the process between and cognitive analysis and visceral experience.

[Ada_list] Looking Back into the Future - a symposium on artist moving image practice 29th -- 31st August 2013, Auckland
Looking Back into the Future - a symposium on artist moving image practice
29th -- 31st August 2013, Auckland
Venues: Academy Cinema, Elam School of Fine Arts, The
Audio Foundation
With over 40 years of artist moving image production in New Zealand,
what is the current state of local practice, and how do we create a
dynamic and sustainable future?
Featuring film screenings, discussion and an artists' workshop,
Looking Back into the Future invites the New Zealand artist moving
image community to Auckland this August 29-31.
Over three days a range of international and local presenters come
together to consider issues of the surrounding production, networks
and value in moving image.
Presented by CIRCUIT Artist Film and Video Aotearoa New Zealand in
association with Elam School of Fine Arts at The University of
Auckland, and with the support of the British Council and Creative New
Zealand, Looking Back into the Future takes place at three venues.
Beginning at the Academy Cinema 8pm, Thursday August 29, All Divided
Selves is a film by UK film-maker Luke Fowler. Based on the work of
radical Scottish psychiatrist RD Laing, the film examines Laing's
assertion that mental illness is a natural result of modern day social
systems. As the film progresses from the 1960s onwards, we see the
impact of Laing's theories on the medical establishment, and the less
forgiving response to Laing's latter day career as a celebrity poet.
Day 2 (August 30) at Elam School of Fine Arts begins with a roundtable
session examining every facet of the artist moving image economy: from
curation to collection. International and local speakers gather to
ask: how can institutions better support new models of moving image
practices? How do we develop networks and exchanges that generate
meaningful dialogue and sustainable engagement? Panelists include
Benjamin Cook (Director LUX, London) and Dr May Adadol Ingawanij,
(University of Westminster/Bangkok Experimental Film Festival), plus
local speakers Alex Monteith (Artist, Academic, Elam School of Fine
Arts), Michelle Menzies (Curator, Adam Art Gallery), John McCormack
(Starkwhite Gallery) and Sue Gardiner (Chartwell Trust). In the
afternoon three film screenings curated for the symposium feature
recent work from New Zealand, Asia and the United States, and are
followed by discussions about networks and distribution.
On Day 3 (August 31) keynote speaker Benjamin Cook, (LUX, London)
leads a workshop for artists entitled The Auratic Film. In an age of
digital technology and endless reproduction this workshop asks; can
the moving image be described as having a distinct presence or aura?
Is there such a thing as a primary encounter with a film and if so
what does this say about how work is disseminated and how it accrues
both cultural and economic value?
Looking Back into the Future Schedule:
Thursday August 29, 8pm: All Divided Selves, Academy Cinema. Tickets $8
Friday August 30, 10am-5pm: Looking Back into the Future, Elam School
of Fine Arts. Free entry
Saturday August 31,10am-1pm:The Auratic Film, The Audio Foundation.
Tickets $40. Register for the workshop via director@circuit.org.nz

radical Scottish psychiatrist RD Laing, the film examines Laing's
assertion that mental illness is a natural result of modern day social
systems. As the film progresses from the 1960s onwards, we see the
impact of Laing's theories on the medical establishment, and the less
forgiving response to Laing's latter day career as a celebrity poet.
Day 2 (August 30) at Elam School of Fine Arts begins with a roundtable
session examining every facet of the artist moving image economy: from
curation to collection. International and local speakers gather to
ask: how can institutions better support new models of moving image
practices? How do we develop networks and exchanges that generate
meaningful dialogue and sustainable engagement? Panelists include
Benjamin Cook (Director LUX, London) and Dr May Adadol Ingawanij,
(University of Westminster/Bangkok Experimental Film Festival), plus
local speakers Alex Monteith (Artist, Academic, Elam School of Fine
Arts), Michelle Menzies (Curator, Adam Art Gallery), John McCormack
(Starkwhite Gallery) and Sue Gardiner (Chartwell Trust). In the
afternoon three film screenings curated for the symposium feature
recent work from New Zealand, Asia and the United States, and are
followed by discussions about networks and distribution.
On Day 3 (August 31) keynote speaker Benjamin Cook, (LUX, London)
leads a workshop for artists entitled The Auratic Film. In an age of
digital technology and endless reproduction this workshop asks; can
the moving image be described as having a distinct presence or aura?
Is there such a thing as a primary encounter with a film and if so
what does this say about how work is disseminated and how it accrues
both cultural and economic value?
