[ecrea] Photomediations: symposium & launch of an open access book

Mon Jan 18 22:25:46 GMT 2016






I have the pleasure to announce the publication of an edited collection
titled /Photomediations: A Reader/ that gathers 20 scholarly and
curatorial texts on the relationship between photography and other
media.  The book is available on an open access basis - i.e. it's free
to download in a pdf format. You can also buy a paper copy.

We're holding a symposium to celebrate the launch of the book and to
discuss photography in a dynamic framework of photomediations on the
19th February 2016 at Goldsmith. Please come and join us. And please
download the book!

Best,
Joanna

PHOTOMEDIATIONS: A SYMPOSIUM AND BOOK LAUNCH

19 February 2016, 3pm-7pm

Goldsmiths, University of London, Room PSH326

FREE AND OPEN TO ALL. NO NEED TO REGISTER.

Come and join us for a half-day symposium exploring the relationship
between photography and other media, and celebrating the launch of the
open access book,/Photomediations: A Reader/ (London: Open Humanities
Press, 2016), edited by Kamila Kuc and Joanna Zylinska (free to download):
http://www.openhumanitiespress.org/books/titles/photomediations/

The concept of photomediations brings together the hybrid ontology of
‘light-based media’ and the fluid dynamism of ‘mediation’. The papers
presented in the symposium will challenge the traditional classification
of photography as suspended between art and social practice in order to
capture the dynamism of the photographic medium today. They will also
explore photography’s kinship with other media – and with us, humans,
/as media/.

NB. Due to Crossrail works there will be no London Overground service to
Goldsmiths on 19.02: you’ll need to take a replacement bus, or travel
one stop on the train from London Bridge to New Cross instead.

The Reader and the symposium are part of the activities of Europeana
Space, a project funded by the European Union's ICT Policy Support
Programme under GA n° 621037.
