DRHA 2011 (Digital Resources for the Humanities and Arts) Conference

Connected Communities: global or local2local?

CALL FOR PAPERS AND PERFORMANCES

Sunday 4th September – Wednesday 7th September 2011, University of Nottingham Ningbo, China

(with add on option of Saturday 3rd September in Shanghai)

In 2011 the DRHA conference will explore the new connectivities in societies and cultures which are enabled by the blending of virtual and physical space, the traversing of time and space through the virtual, and the evolution of innovative methodologies. Crossing disciplines and challenging boundaries within the humanities, arts and the creative industries, this conference will examine critically familiar notions of the ‘local’, the ‘global’ and the ‘network’ across the cultural spectrum.

The deadline has been extended to Monday 21st February 2011. Abstracts should be approx 600 words.

Please see http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/cas/digitalresearchinthehumanitiesarts2011/index.aspx for more information. All submissions must be on-line.

Co-chairs – DRHA 2011 Judith Still (University of Nottingham) and Ghislaine Boddington (Middlesex University/ body>data>space). Conference Lead – Andy White (Nottingham University, Ningbo, China)

body>data>space

body>data>space – interactive design collective based in East London who have advocated for the living body to be at the heart of the digital debate since the early 1990s. Our focus is on body responsive technologies, virtual physical networks, interactive interfaces, user centred experiences and collaborative sharespaces.

We create fascinating connections between performance, architecture, new media and virtual worlds. We make and commission events/installations, we curate exhibitions and debates, consult on creativity and technology and present into a wide variety of sectors on the living body and technological evolutions. We aim to enable body knowledge to be shared through technologies.
