[ecrea] CFP - Yearbook of Moving Image Studies

First Issue - CFP: Yearbook of Moving Image Studies

»Cyborgian Images: The moving image between apparatus and body«
(Deadline for Articles: December 31, 2014)

The double-blind peer-reviewed Yearbook of Moving Image Studies
(YoMIS) is now accepting articles from scientists, scholars, artists
and film makers for the first issue entitled »Cyborgian Images: The
moving image between apparatus and body«. YoMIS will be enriched by
disciplines like media and film studies, image science, (film)
philosophy, art history, game studies and other research areas related
to the moving image in general.

Modern perspectives on the structure of moving images exemplify a
complex multimodal mechanism that interacts in specific ways with the
recipient and various levels of the perception of images. In this case
neither moving images nor the subjective reception are passive
processes. Movement, time, space and different modalities interact
with senses, memories and anticipation and create a complex hybrid
structure of medium, recipient and sensory stimulus processing. This
refers to the fact, that on the one hand the technological structure
of displays and interfaces are relevant, and that on the other hand
the role of the lived-body and mind is crucial for an understanding of
the effects of the moving images. It is the interaction between the
image, the dispositive and the recipient which brings the pictures to
life and unfolds its meaning in diverse dimensions. This remarks
become obvious when looking at the recent evolution in media
technologies. New displays and interfaces like the Cinemizer (Zeiss),
Oculus Rift (OculusVR) or Kinect (Microsoft) promote the progressive
embodiment of the recipient or user by the medium, and, in doing so,
they force the amalgamation of the subject of perception with the
moving image.

Therefore »Cyborgian Images« addresses the broad field of the
relationship between the technological dimension of the medium, its
aesthetic and structural impact on the representational status of the
moving image and the effect on the bodily level of the recipient,
including affective and somatic reactions.
