CALL FOR PAPERS AND CREATIVE WORKS
DESCRIPTION
A two-day conference focused on developing an understanding of the
practice of visual music, its definition, related creative and
perceptual considerations, current trends, technological innovation,
and possible future directions.
The event will take place on Friday the 26th and Saturday the 27th of
August 2011 and will include paper sessions, roundtable discussions,
and creative works presentations.
We are inviting researchers to present studies that address visual
music’s multiple definitions and dimensions, questions around visual
music aesthetics and meaning, hierarchy and correlation of sound and
image in this context, and the audience’s perception thereof. Artists
are also invited to propose visual music presentations – both live and
fixed. Attendance is required in both cases.
