NEW WEBSITE

This is actually old news, but the conference has a new website: BTS.RE

Thanks for Charlotte Crofts for calling our attention to this! Seems that lots of people that have looked for the conference when it was happening just got stuck in this old blogspot address. Oh well.

Check the new link for the 2012 programme and next updates on Besides the Screen!

CFP aftermath and conference dates

Thanks everyone for the submissions! We received some amazing proposals both for papers presentations and performances/workshops. In 2-3 weeks time we should have the final decision about the conference's panel programme. Stay tuned!

In the meantime, Besides the Screen is still accepting non-paper submissions, including practice-based research showcases! Send your ideas to submissions@bts.re

And don't forget to write down on your calendar: Besides the Screen will be held this year in Goldsmiths College, Dekspace Media Lab and whereabouts, SE London. Workshops on November 29-30, Conference December 01-02.

NEW Call for papers, OLD Deadline

Conference: Goldsmiths College, University of London, 1-2 December
Workshops/Performances: Deckspace Media Lab, 29-30 November

With keynotes by Professor Janet Harbord (Queen Mary, University of
London) and Dr. Charlotte Crofts (University of the West of England,
Editorial Board Journal of Media Practice and JMP Screenworks).

Following the success of the event organized in 2010, Goldsmiths
College hosts a new edition of the interdisciplinary conference for
all forms of cinema that exist beside and between screens.

Besides the Screen attempts to understand the continuing
transformation of audiovisual media practices. The conference’s
ever-expanding constellation of topics revolves around techniques of
projection, the centrality of marginal processes, and the manifold
systems of movie storage and transmission (as well as their possible
materialities).

This second edition will take on a particularly reflexive character,
reconfiguring traditional objects while exploring side-by-side
theoretical and practical methods of academic research.

In this spirit, a two-day seminar will be coupled with week-long
workshops taking place at the dek.spc.org media lab. During these
workshops, participants will experiment with media art 'hacking'
practices on moving images, as well as explore open video and active
archiving methods.

To propose a paper for the seminar, a workshop for the media lab, or
an AV performance, submit your abstract (250-400 words) along with a
short bio (100 words) to submissions@bts.re.

Deadline for submission: 7th September 2012

Keywords: movie regulation, distribution, projection, exhibition,
archiving, codification, subtitling, remixing, software, free and open
sources, film archives, art galleries, public spaces, the Internet,
piracy, video activism, authorship and authority, media archaeology,
museography, topography, practice-based research.
