The digital media sector is one of the most dynamic sectors of a knowledge
economy, with the creative origination that underpins the creative media
industries affording much potential for experimentation. This conference
aims to provide a platform for Irish and International academics,
postgraduate students and practitioners to share knowledge and expand the
boundaries of research that pivot on pixels.

Contributions are sought under the following themes:
• Creative Media Content Creation and Technologies
• Creative Pedagogy and Transformative work practices
• Media, Culture, Community and Society
• New Media Narrative Form

It is envisioned that there will be short and long academic research
papers, practical exhibition installations, poster sessions, games and
screenings.

We invite proposal abstracts to a maximum of 350 words, which may be
accompanied by supporting visual material. There will be an award
presented at the conference for the best submission.
