*Exploring the Intersections of Media Archaeology and Artistic Practice*

Media archaeology investigates the historical and material aspects of 
media technologies, revealing forgotten or overlooked connections 
between past and present media practices. This special issue of MAST 
Journal invites submissions that explore the rich intersections of Media 
Archaeology and Art. This issue aims to foster critical discussions and 
innovative perspectives on how media archaeology and art converge and 
mutually inform one another. We are interested in contributions that 
investigate how media archaeology can illuminate the historical, 
theoretical, and practical dimensions of artistic practices and the ways 
in which art can contribute to the development of media archaeology as a 
field.

We encourage submissions that delve into the following themes (but are 
not limited to):

     * *Media Archaeology as Method/Methodology in Art:* How can media 
archaeological approaches shed light on the history and practice of art, 
and vice versa? What methods or methodological innovations can be forged 
at the intersection of art and media archaeology?
     * *Revisiting Media Histories through Art:* How do contemporary 
artists engage with media archaeology to reflect on the history of media 
technologies? What artistic practices, methods, techniques and 
strategies enable us to reimagine the past and interrogate our 
media-saturated present?
     * *Technological Re-appropriation:* How do artists repurpose and 
re-appropriate obsolete or discarded media technologies in creative 
ways? What insights do these practices offer into the historical and 
cultural significance of these technologies?
     * *Media Archaeology in Art Education:* How can media archaeology 
be integrated into art education and curricula? What pedagogical 
approaches can foster a deeper understanding of the historical 
dimensions of media and technology in artistic practice?
     * *Materialities/Temporalities of Media:* How do media artists use 
technologies of past and present to engage with temporal and/or material 
aspects of media that usually remain unseen and unexplored?
     * *Interdisciplinary Collaborations:* What are the 
interdisciplinary approaches that can bridge the gap between media art 
practice and media archaeology (and other related fields)? How can 
creative collaboration across disciplines enrich our understanding of 
the intersections between art and media archaeology?
     * *Archiving and Archival Art Practices:* What are the challenges 
and opportunities of preserving and archiving media art? How can media 
archaeology inform archival art practices and vice versa?


We encourage submissions in the below categories:
     * *Full papers* (4000-6000 words)
     * *Art-based submissions* that include a short essay of 
1,000-2,000 words composed around at least one historical or original 
media artwork. Authors are encouraged to include 3-4 images of the work 
(and if applicable, a link to the work in its entirety). Media art 
submissions may include (but are not limited to) media installations, 
sound art, video art, virtual/augmented/mixed reality projects, and 
web-based projects, among others.

Essays will be assessed based on originality and relevance to the scope 
of the journal and the themes above. Essays must be previously 
unpublished to be considered, and all copyrights for published images 
and artworks must be cleared by the publication date. All aspects of the 
submission (essay, images, link to the project, bio, contact info) 
should be included in one Word document file.
