ANIMATION, VIDEO GAMES AND VIRTUAL EXPERIENCE:
Sport and the Artifice of Moving Image Media

> From FIFA to Hawkeye, Billy the Fish to Space Jam, virtual athletes to holographic golfers, sport has been represented in a variety of illusionist representational moving image forms in a range of disciplinary contexts.

This symposium invites papers that speak to the relationship between 
sport and animation, video games and other models of virtual experience. 
It will seek to explore the interface between the conduct and execution 
of sporting practice and its representation through the practices of 
traditional animation, games animation, data visualization, virtual 
reality, real time interaction, and new / social media applications.

The focus of the symposium is to acknowledge and discuss, but also, to 
move beyond the understanding of animation as ‘a cartoon’ and the 
assumption that sport is merely ‘live’ or ‘as broadcast’ and to properly 
evaluate and critique sport’s representational visualization in graphic 
and materially based, design-led, moving image media.

Further, it is hoped that the Symposium will attract scholars from 
across the arts, humanities and sciences, drawing from, among others, 
Animation Studies, Film Studies, Media Studies, Sports Studies, Sports 
Science, Sports History, Sport Technology, Games Studies, Visual Culture 
Studies, Cultural Studies, Sociology and the Fine Arts.

The symposium wishes to attract investigations and interventions engaged
