DiD present at
The #IFM2023 Virtual Conference
As partners in the #IFM network, we're delighted to invite you to the 5th Interactive Film and Media Annual Conference, where we'll be delving deep into the realms of Care, Collaboration, and Craft from Wednesday, June 7th, to Friday, June 9th, 2023.
Academics, practitioners, artists, designers, and producers in the field of interactive film and media are warmly invited to join us in this stimulating exploration. This conference provides a platform to frame the conditions of digital interaction and interactivity within these three pillars, inviting dialogue, exploration, and shared understanding.
Our presenters this year will interrogate and interweave the intricate definitions and practices of care, collaboration, and craft across a range of new media platforms. This conference is designed to harness the transformative power of diverse voices and methodologies, confronting the challenge of polarization while fostering diverse voices and inventing innovative, collaborative work practices.
We are honored to bring together a diverse mix of communications and exhibitions from over 50 presenters from 30 universities and labs worldwide, each contributing unique insights and groundbreaking works to the conference.
To provide ample time for discussion and debate during the Conference, all video presentations are already available for viewing on our YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/@interactivefilmmediavirtua1283), and the full program can be found on our website (https://journals.library.torontomu.ca/index.php/InteractiveFilmMedia/IFM2023)
The Three Cs - Care, Collaboration, and Craft are not merely defined but are adaptable, fluid concepts that we believe will be the heart of emerging shared languages and ideas. Your participation is crucial in fostering this vibrant dialogue.
