Re-Create 2015 will mark the 10th Anniversary of the International Conference on the Histories of Media Art, Science and Technology. The entanglements among practice, theory and method within media art, design, science and technology are increasingly critical to academic and cultural milieus. Concurrently, the inclusion of artistic disciplines involving technological-cultural instruments, concepts and methods is increasingly supported internationally by granting agencies and policy bodies. This has facilitated the emergence of practice-driven research paradigms, along with questions of method, validation, opportunities and problematics that such paradigms imply. Re-Create 2015 seeks to broadly interrogate the historical entanglements of practice-driven research within a wide and diverse set of international sites, disciplines and contexts related to the intertwined histories of media art, science and technology. Program Chair: Dr. Christopher Salter, Co-Director, Hexagram; Associate Professor Design and Computation Arts, Faculty of Fine Arts, Concordia University Co-Program Chair: Gisèle Trudel, Professor, School of Visual and Media Arts, Arts Faculty, University of Québec at Montreal. Trudel is the former Director of Hexagram-UQAM (2011-13) and Co-Director of Hexagram (2012-15).
