Moving Images 2015: Perception – Reception – Interaction. Varieties and Characteristics of Media Image Processing.
Conference of Moving Image Sciences In Kiel, Germany, 19th And 20^th November 2015

Call for Papers:

For human perception, processing and cognition of moving images (whether they are interactive or not) the systems of the mental and the physical are crucial. Only in the interactive context of bodily participation, sensual addressing and cognitive organization emerges the phenomenal and semiotic dimension of understanding and experience; that shapes the actions of processing and cognition of media stimuli. The conference focusses on the diverse and complex interactions between the images and their specific media, the actions of perception and processing, which can be captured and analysed in connection with somatic and mental processes.

In this context questions are raised about phenomenological and/or semiotic analysis of the processes of perception and reception of multimodal artefacts, about the diagrammatical and temporal structure of moving images (like movies or games), or about the role of sensomotoric processing of interactive images, which seems to be a crucial part of the reception of interactive images.… read more. “Call: Moving Images 2015: Perception – Reception – Interaction.

Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality – Changing the Face of Learning
Special Conference Stream within The Experiential Learning in Virtual Worlds Project 5th Global Meeting
Sunday 10th May – Tuesday 12th May 2015
Dubrovnik, Croatia

Abstracts deadline: Friday 13th March 2015

CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS:

There has been an explosion of interest in virtual, augmented and mixed reality in recent years. Oculus Rift and Google Glass were among the first off the block, but competition has been hotting up since both devices appeared. Much of the attention has focused on the advances in technology that herald such devices, but less attention has been paid to their affordances for learning. This special conference stream offers a unique opportunity to discuss these issues alongside a range of complementary topics related to experiential learning in virtual worlds. Presentations are invited from academics, researchers, VR developers and users who want to join the debate.… read more. “Call: Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality – Changing the Face of Learning (conference stream)”

International Conference Series in Games and Literary Theory
Third Annual Conference

Hosted by Loyola University New Orleans, Department of English & School of Mass Communication

New Orleans, Louisiana USA
November 20-22, 2015

The Games and Literary Theory Conference Series addresses the scope and appeal of interdisciplinary approaches to the study of games and games’ impact on other fields in the Humanities. It began in 2012 as a PhD seminar and workshop arranged by the Department of English at the University of Malta in collaboration with IT University of Copenhagen and subsequently expanded into an annual conference. The inaugural Games and Literary Theory conference convened at the University of Malta in 2013 (http://gamesandliterarytheory.wordpress.com/); the 2nd annual conference was held at the University of Amsterdam in 2014 (http://www.uva.nl/en/about-the-uva/organisation/faculties/content/faculteit-der-geesteswetenschappen/shared-content/events/conferences/2014/11/games-and-literary-theory.html). The 3rd annual Games and Literary Theory conference is scheduled to meet in the USA at Loyola University New Orleans during November 2015.… read more. “Call: International Conference Series in Games and Literary Theory – Third Annual Conference”
