Extended deadline to July 10, 2015

Due to numerous requests for extending the submission time, the Media Art Histories Board extends the invitation to applicants to host the 7th International Conference on the Histories of Media Art, Science and Technology.

The international conference series, which was inaugurated in 2005 in Banff, Canada, has since been held in several international venues around the globe including Berlin in 2007, Melbourne 2009, Liverpool 2011, Riga 2013 and will be held this fall in Montreal. The conference series aims to engage the growing community of scholars from a range of disciplines including art history, contemporary art practice, art theory, history of science, history of technology, science and technology studies, media studies, image science, visual studies, philosophy, cultural studies, anthropology, architecture theory, sound studies, computer science among others to develop and share new research and scholarship in the intersecting fields of the histories of media art, science and technology.
