> This interdisciplinary symposium invites leading 
> international and Australian figures working 
> with digital light-based technologies to 
> consider the capacities and limitations of 
> contemporary digital processes. How do 
> contemporary digital media imitate, advance or 
> retreat from the achievements of older 
> techniques and devices? Why do accidental 
> artefacts of specific media become desirable 
> outcomes in others? What role do artists and 
> artisans play in redefining technologies through 
> technique? Artists, curators and technologists 
> will explore these questions from diverse 
> angles, each exploring the techniques and 
> technologies used in depicting, recording and projecting digital light.
