This conference seeks to explore the points of intersection at which the material and the digital, matter and the virtual, and embodiment and posthumanism push against each other in visual media. Through encounters with cinema, artist’s film and video, installations, and online archives, the aim of the conference is to conceive of new relationships between temporality, materiality and affectivity, tracing the ways in which matter becomes meaningful, or comes to resist meaning, in the digital age. We hope to illuminate the new ways in which digital experiences allow us to think and sense matter and materiality, while reassessing the role of non-digital media in this equation. The conference will trace the implications of the posthuman turn in the humanities, understood as encompassing a variety of non-anthropocentric approaches, on our understanding of matter and affect in visual culture.

Presentations by invited speakers include:

Dr Timothy Barker, On being con-temporary: What technical media studies might offer to theories of contemporaneity Dr Felicity Colman, Digital Gestell: Feminist materialist approaches to durational matters
Derek Hales, The possible worlds of atemporal folds
Professor David Martin-Jones, Nonhuman History: Archiving Time and Matter in a World of Cinemas
Dr Allan Parsons, Actantial Matters/Design Practice
Professor Joanna Zylinska, Sensing Deep Time: Photography after Extinction
