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

Mon Jun 20 12:11:33 GMT 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. Co-authored books: La Photographie Stéréoscopique sous le Seconde Empire; Diableries. Stereoscopic Adventures in Hell and Crinoline: Fashion's Most Magnificent Disaster.
