DOCUVERSE 2017 - INTEGRATING NEW TECHNOLOGIES


CALL FOR PROPOSALS


After the success of their Symposium in February 2016, Docuverse will be 
hosting a further annual event on the 10th of February, 2017. The event 
will be taking place at RMIT University, in Melbourne, Australia.


  From their symposium in February 2016, Docuverse has grown as a forum 
for discussing the intersection between theory, practice and industry, 
in the expanded field of documentary. Bi-monthly events have included 
work-in-progress expanded documentary projects, talks by Judith Aston 
(i-Docs) and Deane Williams (Studies in Documentary Film Journal), and 
an in-conversation between Adrian Miles (RMIT’s non/fictionLab) and 
ACMI’s Seb Chan (forthcoming, Oct 2016).


For 2017 we will continue to discuss, share, and create a community 
around expanded documentary practices, including:

-interactive documentary

-participatory documentary

-the essayistic

-documentary as installation

-locative documentary

-augmented reality

-virtual reality

and explore how these practices challenge what documentary can be and do.


To kick things off for 2017, Docuverse will be hosting a one-day event 
to workshop, share, discuss, and critique the role of new technologiesin 
the creation of expanded documentary projects. The questions we are 
asking are:

-What is the potential of new technology in expanding documentary practices?

-What are the limitations of these new technologies to documentary?

-How do we become proficient (enough) to integrate new technologies into 
our current documentary practices?

-What documentary topics or forms are best oriented towards different 
technologies?


For this event, we will be tackling these questions through the array of 
practices that make up the expanded documentary field. So, we are 
calling for people that:

-Have made an expanded documentary project that they could show and discuss

-Are making a project they would like specific feedback on

-Could host a workshop/discussion/critique


As Docuverse is about creating a community around expanded documentary 
practices, we will be preferencing proposals that steer towards creating 
a discussion, as opposed to straight academic papers. Preference will 
also be given to proposals from people who will be able to attend 
Docuverse 2017 in Melbourne.


If you have an expanded documentary project you would like to show, or a 
workshop/discussion/critique proposal please send us a few sentences 
about your work or idea accompanied with a short description of how you 
would like to present it on the day. These proposals should not be 
longer than 150 words.


Please email proposals to Kim at (docuverse.symposium /at/ gmail.com) 
<mailto:(docuverse.symposium /at/ gmail.com)> by November 20th, 2016.
