   MINA -- 2013 | Mobile Innovation Network Aotearoa

   3rd International Mobile Creativity and Mobile Innovation Symposium
   and International Mobile Innovation Screening

   Auckland

   20 - 22 November 2013

   Mobile Innovation Network Aotearoa [ MINA - [3]www.mina.pro ] is an
   international network that promotes cultural and research activities to
   expand the emerging possibilities of mobile media. MINA aims to explore
   the opportunities for interaction between people, content and the
   creative industry within the context of Aotearoa/New Zealand and
   internationally.

   This year MINA is pleased to announce that the School of Art & Design
   (AUT University) and CoLab (Creative Technologies Research Institute
   for the Faculty of Design and Creative Technologies at AUT University)
   will co-host its 2013 International Symposium & Screening to be held at
   AUT University's Auckland City campus, in collaboration with the
   College of Creative Arts, Massey University (Wellington).

   The Symposium provides a platform for filmmakers, artists, designers,
   researchers and industry professionals to debate the prospect of
   wireless, mobile and ubiquitous technologies in art and design
   environments and the creative industries.


   [4]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
   21^st 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

   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
