The Symposium explores the concept of visual alterity from two different

difference in dance, fashion photography and contemporary cinema, and, 
on the other hand, ways of seeing differently, drawing on experimental 
cinema, video games, music video and virtual and augmented 
reality.  With *Keynote Speaker Professor Randall Halle*, University of
