In the spirit of critical and social museology, the Museums Without Walls
conference invites us to reclaim notions of virtuality from the
technopositivist buzz and revisit the long history of relationships between
museums and media.

The many contributions to the event open space for the discussion and
exercise of new configurations for art institutions amidst other
information technologies. They propose further ways to dispute ossified
narratives and account for overlooked artforms; access and engage with
collections; return cultural artifacts to the spheres of circulation; take
care of the publics, their histories, circumstances, and modes of
expression.

The conference is accompanied by a week-long exhibition that gathers
projects that reimagine our modes of cultural engagement, access, and
preservation, using media as diverse as publications, interactive videos,
and immersive environments.

Keynotes by Michael Connor (Rhizome), Sarah Kenderdine (Experimental
Museology Lab / EPFL), Pippin Barr (Concordia University), and Sara Diamond
(OCAD University).
