MEDIA WEEK 2024 EN

Art and technology in the contemporary world

International conference

Call for papers

11-15 de marzo de 2024

The Escuela de Artes Plásticas y Audiovisuales ARPA BUAP is honored to announce the 9th edition of its International Media Week Conference, which will take place from March 11-15, 2024.

Researchers, creators and students who work in the study of arts and media are invited to submit research-creation works that contribute to the advancement of their analysis. The accepted works will be presented at the conference and may be published in the first issue of our digital magazine Arte y Medios, ARPA.

In 2024, Media Week will have as its theme the relationship between art and technology in the contemporary world. The focus is on the interaction between art and the technical medium, for which the interdisciplinary nature of research and innovation is necessary, as well as the analysis of artistic and design practice framed in the media to propose new perspectives regarding the art, the artist, his practice and his context.

Technologically mediated experiences in art refer to the creation and appreciation of works that employ technology to expand aesthetic and communicative possibilities. This trend of thinking about technology and art has radically transformed the way in which artists express themselves and how the public interacts with the works. From the inclusion of virtual reality, artificial intelligence and augmented reality to the use of textile or pigment, technology is an essential tool of art.

The event will be held in hybrid mode from March 11-15, 2024

Language: Spanish-English

Abstracts will be received in MS Word format through the email media.week@correo.buap.mx.

Peer evaluation process. The evaluators are national and foreign researchers recognized for their contributions in the area.
