Electronic Media & Visual Arts (EVA), Berlin 2010
November 10-12

CALL FOR PAPERS


Cross-media communication, multimodal interaction and mobile
web-technologies allow for interrelated access to the digital heritage
beyond the institutional limits of traditional museums, libraries and
archives. This is challenging traditional concepts of precisely
separated institutions. Large digital repositories, represented in a
kind of "splendid isolation" of single memory institutions, have to open
access to the more coherent and broader context of a globalized culture.

The 17th Berlin EVA conference offers a discussion forum of new media
applications. It brings together the memory institutions with
researchers of the information and communication technologies, IT -
specialists and the public administration sector. Results of research
and development will be presented with a strong reference to their
usage. A particular "students' day" refers to innovative positions from
the academic educational sector. As a member of the international EVA
Conferences Network this event offers opportunities for international
co-operation.
