MINA — 2013 | Mobile Innovation Network Aotearoa
3rd International Mobile Creativity and Mobile Innovation Symposium and
International Mobile Innovation Screening
Auckland
20 – 22 November 2013
Mobile Innovation Network Aotearoa [ MINA – www.mina.pro ] is an international
network that promotes cultural and research activities to expand the emerging
possibilities of mobile media. MINA aims to explore the opportunities for
interaction between people, content and the creative industry within the
context of Aotearoa/New Zealand and internationally.
This year MINA is pleased to announce that the School of Art & Design (AUT
University) and CoLab (Creative Technologies Research Institute for the Faculty
of Design and Creative Technologies at AUT University) will co-host its 2013
International Symposium & Screening to be held at AUT University’s Auckland
City campus, in collaboration with the College of Creative Arts, Massey
University (Wellington).
The Symposium provides a platform for filmmakers, artists, designers,
researchers and industry professionals to debate the prospect of wireless,
mobile and ubiquitous technologies in art and design environments and the
creative industries.
CALL FOR PAPERS
MINA invites proposals for papers and presentations relating, but not limited
to mobile communities, mobile social media and social change, mobile art,
mobile locative media, citizen journalism, mobile visual literacy, mobile video
production, mobile-mentaries (mobile documentaries), mobile network, mobile
media in education and mobile technologies and civic media.
This year the circulation of smartphones outnumbered the volume of mobile
phones. Most mobile devices (including tablets and pocket size digital cameras)
have a HD video capacity and provide Internet connectivity. Since the
proliferation of apps five years ago, new opportunities for creative mobile
media production emerged. Mobile filmmaking is now an established format
ranging from music video to TV commercial production. A number of contemporary
apps feature location-based services that can create new experiences and
representations of places. Mobile filmmaking also provides prospects for
citizen journalist to expand the domain of videography. Contemporary forms of
collaborative filmmaking projects connect 21st century citizens and filmmakers
across the globe creating new forms of digital, networked and transmedia
storytelling. As an egalitarian filmmaking tool and technology, mobile
filmmaking provides access to a new generation of filmmakers. In alignment with
the ubiquity of social media, mobile communication is shifting towards an
increasingly visual realm. Live streaming and micro formats of mobile
filmmaking can be compared to early cinema and actuality film, while mobile
short films resonate approaches and practices known from the field of
experimental documentary and avant-garde moving-image practices.
The 3nd International Mobile Creativity and Mobile Innovation Symposium will
explore the following mobile developments and dynamics in a transdisciplinary
context.
¬ MOBILE & PEDAGOGY
¬ MOBILE & MEDIA PRODUCTION
¬ MOBILE & AESTHETIC
¬ MOBILE & SOUND
¬ MOBILE & HYBRID ART
¬ MOBILE & INTERACTIVITY
¬ MOBILE & SPACE
MINA welcomes presentations in a variety of formats including academic papers,
workshops, poster presentations, performances, project showcases and
screenings. The 3nd International Mobile Creativity and Mobile Innovation
Symposium will also provide the opportunity to present papers via live video
