Dear Video Vortex community,
*Are you an expert of the ins and outs of various online video
platforms, applications, technologies etc.?
*Are you well-versed and interested in presenting about Skype,
Chatroulette, online video streaming, Foursquare, Seesmic, Netflix,
and immediate online news channels, just to name a few.
*Are you active in exploring and discussing the problem of translation
that exists across these platforms, to name but one example.
*Are you interested in contributing to a critical conversation that
continues to expand the exploration of online video beyond Youtube?
*********
As most of you know, the INC recently put out a call for the upcoming
Video Vortex 6, Amsterdam event on March 11 & 12, 2011.
While we've been receiving some really interesting proposals for
talks, and the deadline for abstracts is not until October 11th, 2010,
we're currently on an active hunt for people to contribute to the
session:
'Platforms, Standards and the Trouble with Translation.'
as described in the call:
This theme seeks to draw forth experts who will offer strong
interventions regarding various platforms and channels proliferating
on the internet that contribute to the ecology and culture of online
video. These include, but are not limited to: Skype, Chatroulette,
streaming video technologies, Foursquare, Seesmic, Qik video, Netflix,
immediate news channels online etc. The theme focuses on the problem
of the translations across platforms that arise to due to conflicts in
standards. The geo-cultural, and often the national, limits to open
sharing of online content are also significant. How do users and
producers get around the limits of these borders? How do they work
under the radar or tunnel through the firewall in the face of
censorship and content control? Or do people simply submit to the
powers that be?
**********
If you are interested in offering an abstract, please check out the
original call here, for the submission format.
If you know of anyone you think could offer a great contribution, send
us ideas to rachel(at)networkcultures(dot)org and pass along the
message!
Abstract Deadline: October 11, 2010.
And of course, we're still interested in receiving proposals for the
other sessions, so check out the original call, and send us your
abstracts!
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Rachel
