CALL FOR PAPERS AND CREATIVE WORKS! Understanding VISUAL Music 2011

August 26th and 27th, 2011 in Montreal, Canada

Hexagram-Concordia Centre for Research Creation in Media Arts and Technologies in collaboration with the Department of Music at Concordia University present “Understanding VISUAL Music 2011,” a two-day conference focused on developing an understanding of the practice of visual music, its definition, related creative and perceptual considerations, current trends, technological innovation, and possible future directions.

The event will take place on August 26 & 27, 2011 and will include paper sessions, roundtable discussions, and creative works presentations.

UVM 2011 is inviting researchers to present studies that address visual music’s multiple definitions and dimensions, questions around visual music aesthetics and meaning, hierarchy and correlation of sound and
image in this context, and the audience’s perception thereof. Artists are also invited to propose visual music presentations — both live and fixed. Attendance is required in both cases.

For more information and submission procedures, please visit the event’s website.

Deadline for reception of proposals is June 18th, 2011
