MINA — 2013 | Mobile Innovation Network Aotearoa

3rd International Mobile Creativity and Mobile Innovation Symposium and 
International Mobile Innovation Screening

Auckland

20 – 22 November 2013

Mobile Innovation Network Aotearoa [ MINA – www.mina.pro ] is an 
international network that promotes cultural and research activities to 
expand the emerging possibilities of mobile media. MINA aims to explore 
the opportunities for interaction between people, content and the 
creative industry within the context of Aotearoa/New Zealand and 
internationally.

This year MINA is pleased to announce that the School of Art & Design 
(AUT University) and CoLab (Creative Technologies Research Institute for 
the Faculty of Design and Creative Technologies at AUT University) will 
co-host its 2013 International Symposium & Screening to be held at AUT 
University’s Auckland City campus, in collaboration with the College of 
Creative Arts, Massey University (Wellington).

The Symposium provides a platform for filmmakers, artists, designers, 
researchers and industry professionals to debate the prospect of 
wireless, mobile and ubiquitous technologies in art and design 
environments and the creative industries.



CALL FOR PAPERS

MINA invites proposals for papers and presentations relating, but not 
limited to mobile communities, mobile social media and social change, 
mobile art, mobile locative media, citizen journalism, mobile visual 
literacy, mobile video production, mobile-mentaries (mobile 
documentaries), mobile network, mobile media in education and mobile 
technologies and civic media.

This year the circulation of smartphones outnumbered the volume of 
mobile phones. Most mobile devices (including tablets and pocket size 
digital cameras) have a HD video capacity and provide Internet 
connectivity. Since the proliferation of apps five years ago, new 
opportunities for creative mobile media production emerged. Mobile 
filmmaking is now an established format ranging from music video to TV 
commercial production. A number of contemporary apps feature 
location-based services that can create new experiences and 
representations of places. Mobile filmmaking also provides prospects for 
citizen journalist to expand the domain of videography. Contemporary 
forms of collaborative filmmaking projects connect 21st century citizens 
and filmmakers across the globe creating new forms of digital, networked 
and transmedia storytelling. As an egalitarian filmmaking tool and 
technology, mobile filmmaking provides access to a new generation of 
filmmakers. In alignment with the ubiquity of social media, mobile 
communication is shifting towards an increasingly visual realm. Live 
streaming and micro formats of mobile filmmaking can be compared to 
early cinema and actuality film, while mobile short films resonate 
approaches and practices known from the field of experimental 
documentary and avant-garde moving-image practices.



The 3nd International Mobile Creativity and Mobile Innovation Symposium 
will explore the following mobile developments and dynamics in a 
transdisciplinary context.

¬ MOBILE & PEDAGOGY

¬ MOBILE & MEDIA PRODUCTION

¬ MOBILE & AESTHETIC

¬ MOBILE & SOUND

¬ MOBILE & HYBRID ART

¬ MOBILE & INTERACTIVITY

¬ MOBILE & SPACE



MINA welcomes presentations in a variety of formats including academic

and screenings. The 3nd International Mobile Creativity and Mobile 
Innovation Symposium will also provide the opportunity to present papers
