Currently in the advisory panel for perthDAC 2007, in Australia.

http://www.beap.org/dac/

Conference dates 15 - 18th September 2007

Digital Arts and Culture (DAC) is the leading cross-disciplinary scholarly/research conference series for the analysis of developments in the broad field of digital media, expression and communication.

In September 2007, DAC will be hosted as the key international conference in the public program of the Biennale of Electronic Arts Perth (BEAP) in Perth, Australia.

BEAP celebrates and critiques new and novel technologies (digital, bio, nano, other) by showcasing artworks made with, or are about, new technologies. perthDAC's conference program will be closely inter-woven with BEAP's exhibitions.

perthDAC's academic programme is being developed with the close co-operation and support of the fibreculture forum, who will also be active on the perthDAC conference steering committee.


Theme

The Future of Digital Media Culture
In the early 1990s, the very term digital was new and novel. However, it has taken only fifteen years for e-mail, the Internet, mobile phones, the power of searchable databases, games, film and TV special effects and workplace software tools to become a common and essential part of modern life. Research has not only described the arrival of these new forms, but is increasingly addressing the unexpected social and cultural uses of digital communications and virtual work/play environments.

In the same historically brief time, popular attention has turned to the potentials and problems of the newer new technologies, bio and nano. In addition, the global phenomenon of terrorism, super-epidemics and climate change have developed from distant concerns to everyday realities. Thus the context for digitally mediated processes is also very different.

perthDAC 2007 will explore the complex interaction of human behaviour and new technologies that will be The Future of Digital Media Culture.

Excerpt in Spanish:
La investigacion de Navas como artista y teorico se enfoca en el fenomeno de "Remix Culture," o Cultura Remix, la cual se ha popularizado globalmente debido a las posibilidades que ofrece Internet. La definicion general de la cultura remix esta ligada a la estetica de "copy/cut & paste" comun en los nuevos medios gracias a las computadoras. Hoy, la idea del remixar (del tomar segmentos de material pre-existente para combinarlo en nuevas formas de acuerdo al gusto del individuo) ha sido extendida a otras areas de la cultura, incluyendo las bellas artes, al mismo tiempo que juega un papel vital en la comunicacion masiva.
