[ecrea] Call for Papers - Stereo & Immersive Media - Photography and Sound Research 2016

Call for Papers
The *International Conference Stereo & Immersive Media* 2016, on 
*Photography and Sound Research,* aims to gather researchers, artists, 
curators, and archivists working on visual and sound media renowned for 
their immersive features.

"Stereo" environments (stereoscopic and stereophonic) have been widening 
the fields of photography and sound since the 19th century, contributing 
to the emergence of a progressively immersive media culture. This 
conference aims to bring together photography and sound research fields 
and their relationship with stereo environments, including other 
immersive visual media (e.g. panoramas, optical displays or virtual 
games) as well as sound art practices.

Confirmed Keynote Speakers:

_Nicholas Wade_, Emeritus Professor at Dundee University. Researcher in 
the history of vision, binocular and motion perception, and the 
interplay between visual science and art. His published books include: 
Brewster and Wheatstone on Vision (1983) and Art and Illusionists (2016).

_Larry J Schaaf_, Director of the ‘William Henry Fox Talbot Catalogue 
Raisonné’, an online resource of the Bodleian Libraries, and Founder and 
Editor of the Correspondence of William Henry Fox Talbot Projecthe, he’s 
currently a Research Associate in the History of Art Department at 
Oxford. His published books include: Out of Shadows: Herschel, Talbot & 
the Invention of Photography (Yale, 1992) and The Photographic Art of 
William Henry Fox Talbot (Princeton, 2000).

_Denis Pellerin_, Curator of the London Stereoscopic Company.
