[eccr] CFP M/C 'scan'

Fri May 20 06:37:41 GMT 2005


>'scan'
>
>The scan is both the quick glance and the measured study, it is a survey of
>the exterior and an interrogation of hidden interiors. Practices of
>scanning are a response to the increased number of things to consider and
>the reduced amount of time to consider them. Scanning demarcates that which
>is seen as relevant, interesting and important into ever increasing 'to do'
>lists, at the same time dismissing that which is not. These questions of
>importance or relevance are often decided through cursory glances and
>greater consideration is regularly left for 'later'. Scanning engages
>questions about surveillance, about the way in which we surveil our self
>and our surrounds, and about the way we submit our self and our surrounds
>to surveillance by others. In many ways scanning has an impact on the way
>in which authority is practiced, in creative practice, scholarship and
>daily life.
>
>This edition invites reflections on the 'scan', on the activities of
>watching, surveilling, reporting and recording. We invite creative
>interpretations of the act of scanning and contributions from a wide
>variety of fields to explore its practices, limitations and potentials.
