Call for Participation
Deadline: THE DEADLINE HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO NOVEMBER 2ND, 2015
Following the success of the i-Docs Symposia in 2011, 2012, and 2014 we are now seeking proposals for papers, case studies and projects for i-Docs 2016.
To reflect the rapid expansion and evolution of the field, and growing interest within academia and creative practice, we are expanding the Symposium to take place across three days. Convened by Judith Aston, Sandra Gaudenzi and Mandy Rose, and hosted by UWE Bristol’s Digital Cultures Research Centre, i-Docs 2016 will be held at the Watershed in Bristol’s Harbourside on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday 2nd – 4th March.
We will be joined by keynote speakers including 2015 Tribeca Storyscapes award-winners May Abdalla and Amy Rose aka Anagram, Patricia Zimmermann – co-author of Thinking Through Digital Media, Chris Sizemore – Executive Editor BBC, and Vassiliki Khonsari – Executive Producer iNK Stories – 1979 Revolution.
This year’s symposium will focus on three themes that reflect key developments in the field:
- Machines for Thinking
- The Uses of Immersion
- Evolving Practices
We welcome proposals for panels, papers, case studies and alternative forms of debate that cover (but are not limited to) these themes. Interventions around design, impact, evaluation, business models and cross-cultural perspectives are welcome across all three themes.
We are also eager to hear from practitioners who want to show and discuss new work, and work-in-progress.
