<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 11.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px Arial; color: #1a1a1a">Over two stimulating days acclaimed professionals including curators, historians, creative arts practitioners, critics and theorists explore transdisciplinary imaging.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 11.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px Arial; color: #1a1a1a">Today we’re saturated with images from all disciplines, whether it’s the creation of ‘beautiful visualisations’ for science, the torrent of images uploaded to social media services
like Flickr, or the billions of queries made to vast visual data archives such as Google Images. These machinic interpretations of the visual and sensorial experience of the world are producing a new spectacle of media pollution. Machines are in many ways
the new artists.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 11.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px Arial; color: #1a1a1a">The notion of ‘Interference’ is posed here as an antagonism between production and seduction, as a redirection of affect, or as an untapped potential for repositioning artistic
critique. Maybe art doesn’t have to work as a wave that displaces or reinforces the standardized protocols of data/messages, but can instead function as a kind of signal that disrupts and challenges perceptions. ‘Interference’ can stand as a mediating incantation
that might create a layer between the constructed image of the ‘everyday’ given to us by science, technological social networks and the means of its construction.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 11.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px Arial; color: #1a1a1a">The Transdisciplinary Imaging Conference presents speakers from a wide range of disciplines discussing:</p>
<ul style="list-style-type: disc">
<li style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px Arial; color: #1a1a1a">Can art interfere with the chaotic storms of data visualization and information processing, or is it merely eulogizing contemporary media?
</li><li style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px Arial; color: #1a1a1a">Can we think of ‘interference’ as a key tactic for the contemporary image in disrupting and critiquing the continual flood of constructed imagery?
</li><li style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px Arial; color: #1a1a1a">Are contemporary forms and strategies of interference the same as historical ones? What kinds of similarities and differences exist?
</li></ul>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 11.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px Arial; color: #1a1a1a">The conference will explore areas related to: Painting, Drawing, Media Art, Performance, Film, Video, Photography, Computer visualization, Bio art, Real-time imaging, Intelligent
