Hosted by the *Venice Centre for Digital and Public Humanities (VeDPH), 
Università Ca’ Foscari Venice, Italy,* the 10th International Conference 
on the Histories of Media Art, Science and Technology – RE:SOURCE – will 
celebrate Media Art Histories and the role that its main agents have had 
in the multiple developments of art, science and technology with a focus 
on the past 60 years.
The main historical theme of the conference series – the histories of 
Media, Art, Science and Technology – will form the core of the event. 
This will be integrated by a number of sub themes including the following:

- Track 1: "Memory. How to create future memories: documentation, 
preservation and new technologies" (media art conservation, 
preservation, documentation, archival research, role of researchers in 
curatorial practice)

- Track 2: "Climate Actions, Environment and Public Humanities" (public 
media art that addresses climate emergency and social topics)

- Track 3: "Pioneers of Media art" (media art history pioneers past and 
present, artists, curators, new technologies)

- Track 4: "Media art history outside and inside the museum" (curation, 
museology, cinema, games, media arts museums); re-enacting of 
exhibitions, new technologies and curatorial practice.

The title "RE:SOURCE" refers to a sub theme specifically introduced in 
the MAH Venice edition of the conference series. This theme will be 
centred on the climate crisis and questions of ecological sustainability 
considered in all their ramifications analysed through the lenses of 
Media Art (History). It will be highlighted during one track of the 
conference (Track 2), and during a special PhD day event and workshop 
led by a duo formed by a senior chair and an emerging scholar, in 
collaboration with Ca’ Foscari and the Venice Center for the Humanities 
and Social Change.

*RE:SOURCE will host four days of panels, workshops, exhibitions, 
performances, poster sessions and keynotes.

Venice and its lagoon are a UNESCO World Heritage site constantly facing 
scientific, environmental, cultural and socio-economic challenges around 
climate issues. In addition to seasonal flooding and mass tourism, the 
urban fabric of Venice is challenged by rising water levels. This 
fragile ecosystem, continuously being under threat, has been the subject 
of many studies and plans which are aiming at protecting and enhancing 
the site through integrated policies for sustainable development, but 
now more than ever more social awareness and involvement are needed.

In this context we see Media Art History as an active agent that would 
encourage and facilitate new conversations about this timely issue, 
where Venice can be seen as a small reflection of the bigger climate 
issues that are happening globally.

What motivated the name RE:SOURCE for the 10th International Conference 
on the Histories of Media Art, Science and Technology is the notion of 
sustainability and inclusion: through this conference we want to tackle 
timely issues on the ongoing climate emergency, both historically and in 
connection with current environmental studies and methodologies applied 
to new media. At the same time we want to offer a new way of thinking 
about resources, and look for new strategies, actions and approaches to 
overcome the current alarming circumstances.

The refereed conference program will include competitively selected, 
peer-reviewed individual papers, panel presentations and posters, as 
well as a small number of invited speakers.
Presentations will be delivered in a range of formats. We particularly 
encourage submissions by researchers from international contexts outside 
of Europe and North America.
