MEDIATING CITYSCAPES
Den Haag/The Hague
25-27 September, 2013
If urban space has historically been defined by the relation between static
structures and mobile subjects, this dichotomy is fast giving way to hybrid
spatialities characterized by dynamic flows which not only dissolve the fixity
of traditional modes of spatial enclosure, but problematize the unified
presence of the subject traversing their contours.
Scott
McQuire, The Media City (2008)
As Scott McQuire suggests, the contemporary city is marked by a number of
tensions found between fixity and flow and the resulting hybrid spatialities
which are shaped by a multifarious range of mediations. Historically, certain
of these mediations, such as film, photography, music, art, and more recently,
mobile and locative media, have helped shape the diverse strata which compose
both the material and immaterial dimensions of the contemporary city. In form,
and as practices and discourses, they have also afforded opportunities to
critically engage with and creatively intervene in the city. As part of the
annual arts festival TodaysArt, held in Den Haag, this interdisciplinary
symposium will focus on creative and artistic responses to the mediated
cityscape. We encourage papers and submissions from academics, artists and
practitioners that consider the multiple ways in which various media (film,
music, photographic, digital, etc.), creative practices, and technologies put
in to play a diverse array of encounters and interfaces that engage with,
interrupt, reconstitute, or resist the hybrid spatialities which define the
contemporary cityscape.
