CHArt 28TH ANNUAL CONFERENCE

Display: Consume: Respond - Digital Engagement with Art
*www.chart.ac.uk*

Thursday 15 - Friday 16 November 2012, Central London venue TBC

Since its foundation in 1985 CHArt has engaged in topical issues in Digital
Art History. This year CHArt is looking how new developments in information
and communications technology affect the ways in which we engage with art.
New forms of digital display or emerging modes of viewing art may have
profound effects on both our understanding of the artwork itself (the way
we consume it) and our ability or appetite for describing, curating and
managing it (how we respond to it).

CHArt invites papers that examine emerging practice and where it impacts
upon digital art practice, research and curation. Areas for consideration
include:

   - Control of authorship, ownership and  access
   - Collaboration and the interdisciplinary  break-down
   - Participation, quick response and  interaction
   - Consumption, re-use and mashup
   - Mobile technology, apps and education
   - Connections between art, interface design,  usability and user
   experience
   - Globalisation, agility, dissemination and big  data
   - Liquidity and permeability of digital  culture

Contributions are welcome from all sections of the CHArt community: art
historians, artists, architects and architectural theorists and historians,
philosophers, curators, conservators, scientists, cultural and media
theorists, archivists, technologists and educationalists.

Submissions should be in the form of a 300-400 word synopsis of the
proposed paper with brief biographical information (no more than 200 words)
of presenter/s, and should be emailed to chart@kcl.ac.uk  by Friday, June
1st  2012. Please note that submissions exceeding the stated word count
will not be considered.

Postgraduate students are encouraged to submit a proposal. CHArt is able to
offer assistance with the conference fees for up to four student delegates.
Priority will be given to students whose papers are accepted for
presentation. An application form and proof of university enrolment will be
required. For further details about the Helene Roberts Bursary please email

There has been some recent confusion about the role of the email lists managed by the BCS Computer Arts Society and I'm writing to try and clarify this situation:
cas@jiscmail.ac.uk - is an open list which anyone can post to (not just members).  Posts are moderated to prevent SPAM.  CAS is used to announce CAS events as well as other events, publications, opportunities of general interest.  It focusses on contemporary practice because:
dash@jiscmail.ac.uk - is another open, moderated list maintained by the CAS list that specialises in Digital ArtS Histories
Many people are members of both lists.  Several people are posting the same email to both lists and this results in some members unsubbing from one or the other because they think the lists are duplicates.  They are not.

In future moderators (aka me) will not accept duplicate posts to both lists.  If your post concerns contemporary practice please send it to cas - if it concerns history please address it to dash. 

Please only send to both lists if your announcement clearly and unambiguously addresses both contemporary practice and digital arts history.

And don't forget the CAS also maintains a FaceBook presence:  http://www.facebook.com/groups/111026792741/ where members can post items and contribute to dialogues, etc…  This is managed and moderated by Stephen Boyd Davis.

…and our website has been recently upgraded and improved:  http://computer-arts-society.com/  - note our .org address now redirects here also.  The new site has been designed and implemented and is managed by Sean Clark.

Thank you for your understanding and for taking the time to read.
With best wishes
Paul - cas & dash moderator
