NOWNET ARTS CONFERENCE 2022

Network Arts Stage: Artistic, Technological, and Social Strategies
October 31 - November 6, 2022 (Eastern Daylight Time)

NowNet Arts Conference is an annual event for artists, technologists, researchers, educators, and industry professionals advancing topics in contemporary network arts for the ongoing development of the field. The Network Arts Stage for hybrid and virtual work opens strategies for artistic aspects of creation and performance, technological platforms for transmission of the medium, and societal connection for topics including peace-building, the environment, and diversity. How has network arts artistic work developed during these times of increased activity and adaptation? What is the artistic history of the medium, what is its place in contemporary arts, and what are the long term artistic visions? What are the states of the technological platforms and how can they be further built comprehensively for audio, video, streaming, and recording in hybrid and virtual settings? What are the capacities of network arts to transcend boundaries for peace-building, to inspire action for environmental harmony, to transform the digital divide, and to address inclusion, diversity, equity, and access? The NowNet Arts Conference 2022 presents papers, workshops, presentations, and concert demonstrations that feature this topic and generate new innovations for this work forward.
