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 â??localâ??, the â??globalâ?? and the
â??networkâ?? across the cultural spectrum.

Masaki Fujihata (Artist, Professor, Director of
Graduate school of Film and New Media, Tokyo University of the Arts)
