*Go Mobile, Stay Creative
Mobile Studies Congress 2023*
Hangzhou, China, 16-17 December
(in-person and virtual)
After successfully organizing its past three congresses since its debut

16th and 17th of December 2023 at Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, China.

This year’s theme is “Go Mobile, Stay Creative.” What role does 
creativity play in shaping and continuously redefining mobile media, 
mobile and smartphone filmmaking, mobility research, mobile creative 
arts, mobile music making, and mobile communication?
MSC2023 will explore and examine innovation and creativity in screen 
storytelling, community engagement, and novel production formats such as 
smartphone filmmaking, vertical video, mobile social networks, mobile 
live streaming, music/sound creation with apps, micro movies, and mobile XR.
Developments towards Industry 4.0 (including Artificial Intelligence, 
algorithms, and automation) and ongoing digital transformations continue 
to disrupt creative industries to produce new business models, 
production environments, and distribution channels. Innovative 
technologies and mobile creativity allow various communities to create 
artistic and cultural productions globally and forge new synergies among 
academic disciplines. Mobile is the window to the world for most of us 
(Xu, 2019). As much of our world has gone mobile, it is vital to examine 
the changes, challenges, and chances that define mobile studies and 
mobile media making in 2024 and the near future.
Mobile media remixes and remediates old and new media and shapes 
storytelling to generate new forms and formats (Berry and Schleser, 
2016). Mobile media’s specificity is expressed through accessibility, 
mobility, and its intimate and immediate qualities (Schleser, 2021). 
Since the early days of mobile media, this emerging research field has 
continuously redefined itself and its practices contributed to cultural 
change. As our world has entered a disturbing and disrupted period after 
the disastrous COVID-19 pandemic, the pressing need is to creatively 
leverage mobile technologies, mobile media, mobilities, mobile 
storytelling, mobile music, smartphone filmmaking, and mobile 
communications to help achieve Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
Keynote speakers include Professor Susan Kerrigan (Professor in Film and 
Television, Department of Film, Games and Animation, Centre for 
Transformative Media Technologies, Swinburne University of Technology, 
Melbourne, Australia), Professor Hu Wenzhong (Dean of Institute of 
Journalism and Communication, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, 
Beijing, China) and Professor Wei Lu (Dean of the College of Media and 
International Culture, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China) and 
Associate Professor Dafydd Sills-Jones (Deputy Head of School Design & 
Creative Technologies, Auckland University of Technology, Auckland, New 
Zealand/Aotearoa), and Dr. Angus Cheong (Founder and CEO of ERS 
e-Research & Solutions, Macao).
