In conjunction with InterSymp-2008: 20th International Conference on Systems Research, Informatics and CyberneticsInternational Institute for Advanced Studies in Systems Research and Cybernetics
The Symposium in the Arts and Humanities intends to endorse and expand the debate into the exploration of both ‘theoretical frameworks’ and novel ‘applications and processes’. The aim will be advancing interdisciplinary investigations between the domains of music, architecture, urban and industrial design, dance, performance, theatre, digital media and visual arts.
This year’s Symposium intends to initiate research dialogues between disciplines and practices on the topic of Interaction and/or Interactivity, taking into consideration their diverse manifestations (physical/ material/ digital/ virtual/etc), and forms as in human-human and human-machine relationships. Possible panel themes for conference submissions include, but are not limited to, the following: I. inter-face/action/relation/section; II. representations: modelling, mapping, and (per)forming; III. processes: in motion, e-motion, and emotion; IV. living forms, lived spaces.
Proposals for sessions and individual papers are invited from authors (academics and practitioners) of diverse fields of investigation, according to one of the following formats: academic research paper, creative writing essay, report on practice-based work or educational programme, performance and/or workshop. All proposals will be judged based on their scholarly quality, originality and potential for further discourse.
