The first International Conference on Transdisciplinary Imaging at the Intersections between Art, Science and Culture. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cNew Imaging: transdisciplinary strategies for art beyond the new media\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Takes place on 5 –\u00a06\u00a0\u00a0November at Artspace, 43\/51 Cowper Wharf Rd, Sydney, NSW 2011.<\/p>\n

A profound shift is occurring in our understanding of postmodern media culture. Since the turn of the millennium the emphasis on mediation as technology and as aesthetic idiom, as opportunity for creative initiatives and for critique, has become increasingly normative and doctrinaire. Mediation and the new media arts have in fact become the new medium of critical and pedagogical discourse: like water is for fish, like culture is for cultural studies, mediation is a concept that is taken for granted now because it is itself the medium in which we think and act, in which we swim. We need a concept that is amphibian, and that can leave its medium. The concept we propose is a remediated apprehension of the image: an active image and activity of imaging beyond the boundaries of disciplinary definition, but also altering the relations of intermedia aesthetics and interdisciplinary pedagogy. This concept will need to incorporate a vibrant materialism of the image\u2019s sensory and cognitive strata and an evanescent immaterialism of its affective qualities. Rather than locate our conference in the space of negotiation between disciplines or media (the \u201cinter-\u201c), we propose the opposition, transit and surpassing of the interdisciplinary by a \u201ctransdisciplinary aesthetics\u201d, and its conceptual and physical practice of a \u201ctransdisciplinary imaging.\u201d<\/p>\n
