MEDIA ART HISTORIES 2019 – RE:SOUND
The 8th International Conference in the Histories of Media Art, Science
and Technology.
Aalborg University, Denmark, August 20-23, 2019 
 
The 8th International Conference on the Histories of Media Art, Science
and Technology – RE:SOUND – will be hosted by RELATE (Research
Laboratory for Art and Technology), Aalborg University and will be held
at the CREATE campus, Aalborg, Denmark, August 20-23, 2019 in
partnership with the STRUER Sound Art Festival and CATCH – Center for
Art & Tech in Elsinor.  


RE:SOUND will host four days with 10 tracks of paper sessions, panels,
workshops, practice-based interventions, exhibitions, performances,
poster sessions, a PhD workshop and keynotes. The tracks were generated
based on the first call for topics contextualized under the wide frame
of media art history and sound. Each track has several smaller thematic
sessions for submissions that are chaired by experts in the field.


Through the 10 tracks (listed below), RE:SOUND MAH2019 calls for
proposals that revisit and (re)investigate, through a variety of prisms
and on a multiplicity of trajectories, the ontologies and epistemologies
of Media Art History as a field of practice and research. Moreover,
there are also specific calls for proposals investigating sound in Media
Art + theories + histories + practices.
 
Based on the first call for topics, the call is now open for individual
submissions within the following tracks (all of which are further
detailed and specified at
http://www.mediaarthistory.org/resound-maincall)

Art.

This track calls for proposals that investigate and discuss the
histories of women in sound art through academic papers and
