    Venue: Robert Webster Building, UNSW Kensington


    Who: School of the Arts & Media


    SAM Postgraduate Symposium

/“My work is utterly incomprehensible and is therefore full of deep 
significance”//
/-Calvin of Calvin and Hobbes.

Intentional or unintentional, an audience reads a message in the works 
we create. “I love it” and “I hate it” are visceral reactions to the 
messages conveyed. Regardless of the medium, and the tools used to 
create, they all share a commonality: the conveyance of meaning. What 
meanings are conveyed? How? For what purpose? The focus of this 
conference is to turn our attention to the messages that artists are 
sharing and to discuss the meanings, themes, and ideologies present 
within artistic works that are understood by viewers, readers, and 
listeners. Throughout these talks, we hope to share the many ways that 
meaning is imparted across disciplines, and broaden our definitions of 
communication.

Key note speaker: Emeritus Professor, Theo van Leeuwen, University of 
Technology, Sydney
