   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 and live web-broadcasts. For each
   submission, please send:

   - a proposal / abstract of approximately 400 words, including the title

   - a brief biographical (100 words maximum)

   Abstracts for papers and proposals of up to 500 words should be
   submitted by the 16th of August 2013. Please include a title and brief
   biographical note and send to [4]laurent at mina.pro

   All proposals will be double peer reviewed and presenters will be
   notified of acceptances by 16th of September 2013. All selected papers
   will be published in the Creative Technologies Journal - Special Mobile
   Edition.

   If you have any questions related to conference proposals please
   contact Laurent Antonczak
