Call for Papers:

[ MINA ] Symposium
26th November 2011
Film Archive, Wellington, NZ
Massey University, Wellington, New Zealand

As part of the International Mobile Innovation Screening, the [ MINA ]
symposium will also take place on the 26th November 2011 in the Film Archive in Wellington.

The symposium will provide a platform for filmmakers, artists, researchers,
‘pro-d-users’ and industry professionals to debate the prospect of wireless,mobile and ubiquitous technologies in art and design practice and the creative industries. [ MINA ] invites paper proposals relating to mobile technologies, mobile creativity and mobile filmmaking.

Mobile aesthetics entered the mediascape from 2004 onwards and illustrate
innovation in the creative application of wireless, mobile and ubiquitous
technologies. Within the last decade mobile video technology developed from
a low-res 3gp video format to HD video and simultaneously embraces the shift towards web 2.0/3.0. In 2006 mobile phones outnumbered the volume of film and digital cameras combined, whilst industry research forecasts a
continuous development and innovation in the area of mobile technologies.
Yet no industry standards for production and consumption of the emerging
video format have been established. Concurrently a proliferation of creative mobile media practices surfaced within the field of documentary filmmaking,art and design practice.

Paper proposals should be submitted by the 30th September 2011. Please send
a proposal of approximately 250 words with a title and brief biographical
note to max at mina.pro
