[csaa-forum] Sean Cubitt seminar -- 17 March

[Dimitris Vardoulakis]

Sean Cubitt (University of Melbourne) will present a paper titled 
*Picturing Light* in the seminar series of the Communications and Media 
Studies section at Monash University. The seminar will take place on 
March 17, in the English Library (Menzies Building, Room number W710), 
from 3 to 4.30 pm.

Abstract: Just as street lighting does more than replace moonlight, 
light technologies of the digital era do more than remediate light 
techniques form the past. This seminar presents some preliminary 
findings from a research project on the affordances and genealogies of 
digital light. The centre of the presentation will be the depiction of 
light in a variety of different media in relation to how it is 
represented in both digital artefacts and software interfaces. A 
critical question: are light techniques and technologies becoming 
normative in the 21st century, and do such norms operate differently to 
their operation in previous epochs?

Everyone welcome!
