Post-Disciplinary Creative Practices

In the twentieth-century artistic practices repeatedly sought to move 
beyond the specificity of medium, technique, process, style and form. 
This yielded practices that were ahead of their time, evaded traditional 
classifications and consequently became known as the avant-garde. As the 
century progressed theories formulating the working practices of the 
avant-garde were developed. Artworks were, for example, conceived as 
open forms (Eco, 1962) or as an expanded medium (Youngblood, 1970) and 
practice transitioned through a number of stages of disciplinarity, 
moving from intradisciplinarity to multidisciplinarity, 
crossdisciplinarity, interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity (ARJ, 
2012; ARJ, 2022). While these developments in art of moving beyond, 
opening or expanding outwards, seem to contradict the ‘modern project’ 
of the division of labour and increasing specialization (De Langhe, 
2010) evident in the fields of science and technology they in fact echo 
desires present in mid-century innovative fields, such as Cybernetics 
and Systems Theory, to reappraise working practices.

For this EAI ArtsIT Special Track it is proposed that contemporary 
creative practices that employ technology continue the tradition of the 
avant-garde by adopting mediums, techniques, processes, styles and forms 
from beyond the specificity of artistic practice. In doing so they form 
part of a new emerging stage of disciplinarity, post-disciplinarity, 
where practitioners not only practice in/across/between/beyond disciples 
but do so from outside or post the context of disciplinarity itself.


Special Track Topics

This track will seek papers that explore and discuss how digital and 
electronic technologies form a key component in post-disciplinary 
creative practices, under the following (but not limited to) themes:

• Disciplinarity and creative practice;
• Technology as medium, technique, process, style and form in creative 
practice;
• Post-disciplinary creative practices and authorship;
• Creative identity;
• AI art;
• Open Source, Creative Commons, shared and distributed media in 
creative practice;
• Participative, interactive and collaborative forms;
• Technology and post-humanism;
• Post-disciplinary creative practices and audiences;
• Post-disciplinary creative practices’ relationship with broader 
‘postness’ in culture e.g. post-art, post-internet, post-digital, 
post-modern, post-anthropocene etc.;
• Post-disciplinary creative practice and ‘the academy’;
• Disciplinary knowledge and Do-It-Yourself knowledge e.g. maker and 
hacker culture;

The track will welcome papers where post-disciplinary working practices 
and methods are foregrounded.
