Thu Jun 11 00:41:19 GMT 2015







*WRITING DIGITAL: MIX DIGITAL 03*
*July 2 - 4 Commons, Newton Park Campus
Bath Spa University*

After the success of the last two MIX DIGITAL conferences, Bath Spa
University is hosting *Writing Digital: MIX DIGITAL 3* in the newly
completed Commons building at the Newton Park Campus, just outside of Bath.

MIX DIGITAL has established itself as an innovative forum for the
discussion and exploration of writing and technology, attracting an
international cohort of contributors from the UK, Australia, Europe and
North and South America.

This year’s conference will take place from 2 – 4 July 2015 and will
take full advantage of the features and interactive spaces in the new
Commons building with a mix of academic papers, practitioner
presentations, seminars, keynotes, discussions, workshops and an
exhibition of the work by conference participants.

Keynote speakers include writer *Naomi Alderman
<http://mix-bathspa.org/keynotes/>* on how and why a literary novelist
came to be the imaginative power behind the hugely successful apps,
Zombies! Run <https://www.zombiesrungame.com/>, and The Walk, theorist
*Florian Cramer <http://v2.nl/archive/people/florian-cramer>*
interrogating the post-digital <http://www.aprja.net/?p=1318post-digital
d performers> - 'a term that sucks but is useful...' and groundbreaking
interactive artists *Blast Theory
<http://www.blasttheory.co.uk/our-history-approach/>* talking about
their recently released project Karen
<http://www.blasttheory.co.uk/projects/karen/>

Conference Co-Chair, Professor Kate Pullinger, Bath Spa University, says
‘MIX Digital 3 gives participants the chance to catch up with artists,
writers and academics who are working at the forefront of where arts
practice meets technology, where the artificial division between the
digital and the analogue no longer exists. This year’s conference will
be push the discussion forward into new and challenging territories,
from new digital literary forms to our analogue futures.'

MIX DIGITAL partners, The Writing Platform
<http://www.thewritingplatform.com/>, will also be showcasing their two
winning projects
