Call for Provocateurs!
Rebooting Futurism @ Victoria University of Wellington - 15
 May 2015
Rebooting Futurism challenges scholars and scientists from all fields and disciplines
 to contribute to a one-day conference/symposium/performance event interrogating the legacies of Futurism. We seek projects that synthesize the spirit and substance of Futurism in the context of contemporary Aotearoa New Zealand, asking "What if
 Futurism was (re)born today?" Proposals representing all disciplines and a range of formats and media, are welcomed, including but not limited to:

.      
Pecha Kucha Conference Papers and Micro-Manifestos


.      
Performance-based research using theatre, dance, cinema, music, and electronic media

.      
Exhibitions and demonstrations fusing art and science
THEMES
.      
New New Zealand/ Aotearoa ā mua - What New New Zealands might Futurism now envision?
 For what might a Maori Marinetti agitate?
.      
Rebooting Futurism -
What is (or might be) the "Neo-Futurist" Aesthetic and Politic?

.      
Futurist Fission
& 
Fusion - How does Futurism productively challenge traditional disciplinary boundaries between humanity and machine, science and art, nature and culture, popular and high culture? What new hybrid forms do contemporary media make possible?

.      
The Influence & Legacies of Futurism
in Australasia and Abroad
.      
Sintesi
- New performances inspired by and critical of Futurism
SUBMISSIONS
 "It is stupid to write 100 pages when one would suffice" (Marinetti). In the futurist spirit,
Rebooting Futurism seeks short, dynamic, high-impact contributions. Proposals should embrace innovation in form and content, and contest conventional distinctions between "scholarship," "science," "art," and "entertainment." 

Please address submissions - including
250-word abstracts, along with bios and any special (space, equipment, etc.) requirements - and queries to
rebootingfuturism at gmail.com.
 The deadline for proposals is 31 January 2015.
