Digitcult journal calls for research papers on the novel concept of Future Screen, a cross disciplinary topic that has the potential to reshape immersive media, film, narrative and game design, music and performing arts and more broadly the sector of Creative industries, Culture and Entertainment. We would contributors to explore the innovative impact of emerging technologies from XR (Augmented, Virtual- and Mixed- Realities) and Dome Visualisation, to Video Mapping, Virtual Production, Mobile, Wearable and Embedded ‘internet-of-things’ media; from macro perspectives (analyse the broad, societal impacts of future screen technologies) to micro perspectives (delve into micro-level changes in individual behaviours and community interactions). We ask papers to reflect on Future Screen as a catalyst definition aiming at a unified view for screenbased technologies and their emergent uses in the future, and how this could reframe audience, storytelling, industries and communities of practice and questioning some of the key aspect of media studies. The special issue calls for contributions that shed new light on theoretical, analytical and empirical insights that help to understand the impact of Future Screen(s) on Space, Audience and Content: How are new screen technologies altering physical and virtual spaces? What are the implications for content creation and consumption? How do these changes affect the dynamics between creators, audiences, and industries?
In particular, but not exclusively, we ask papers addressed to any of the following key themes:
- Audience Experiences: Individual and Collective
- Urban Collective Experiences vs. Individual Experiences
- Hybridity in Future Screens
- Storytelling and Narrative Innovations
- Tensions and Transformations in Research and Artistic Domains
- Industrial Impact and Sustainability
