CFP Alert!!!! Deadline for submitting the full paper: 1st July 2026 Submissions to be published in node 41. "Media Art Histories, Re:generative (MAH 2025–2027)" (February 2027) This special issue extends the conversations initiated at the 11th International Conference on the Histories of Media Art, Science and Technology (Re:generative), held in May 2025 in Manizales and Bogotá, Colombia, within the framework of the XXIV Festival Internacional de la Imagen. This landmark event, organised by the Universidad de Caldas and the Universidad de Bogotá Jorge Tadeo Lozano, brought together researchers, artists, and creators from around the world to reflect on how media art, digital culture, and transdisciplinary practices can contribute to regenerative futures. Building upon the Re:generative concept and new approaches to project-based thinking in contemporaneity, this call invites researchers, artists, and practitioners to submit original contributions that explore the intersections of art, science, and technology through regenerative lenses. Both participants of the conference and the broader academic community are encouraged to contribute. Guest Editors: Oliver Grau – Archive for Digital Art, Germany/Austria Felipe César Londoño – International Image Festival, Colombia Laura Leuzzi – Robert Gordon University, Scotland Artnodes Editorial Team: Pau Alsina & Andrés Burbano – Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) For any questions regarding your submission, contact Oriol Solé Granier ([email protected]), the journal’s Managing Editor. @oliver.grau2018 @felipecl01 @andres.burbano.12

When @stephenskrynka told me about this event months ago and I saw the Revelator, I knew it would be something exceptional and that I wanted to be there in some shape or form. I was so excited when my proposal for a mini performative talk of My body is my piano was accepted! Currently I am working with @lucianadibella to get ready and expand the performative bit (encouraged by @maja_zeco ) and capture in a nutshell the art history! The Revelator @the_revelator_clydebuilt in partnership with The Royal Scottish Academy as part of ‘In Time’ celebrating 200 years @royal_scottish_academy are proud to present UNCONFORMITY at The Revelator. 30th May 9.30-5.30. Tickets FREE via Eventbrite. Through a series of conversations and performances, participants will explore ‘missing layers’, considering how culture is shaped not only by what remains, but also by what has been lost. Organised by Stephen Skrynka and Annie Cattrell. @anniecattrell Soapbox sessions. 30 artists, writers and performers. 10 min each. Contributing artists include : Sam Ainsley, @ainsleysam Annie Cattrell, @anniecattrell Ilana halperin, @geologicnotes Gareth Fisher, @gareth_f Yevheniia Sydorenko @eugenia_sido Paul Stallan, @stallanbrand Dave Sherry, @davidhughsherry Louise Welsh, @louisewelsh550 Suky Best, @sukybestKenny Hunter, @realkennyhunter Chris Dolan, @chrismariodolan Katie Houston, @katie___houston Edward Summerton, @edwardsummerton Shauna McMullan, @shauna.mcmullan Leena Namari, @leenanammari Gair Dunlop, @gair_dunlop Joseph De Lappe, @josephdelappe Mary Bourne, @m_bournesculptor Joanna Kessel, @joannakessel Laura Leuzzi, @82lale Peter McCaughey, @petermccaughey Gordon Gibb, @gordongibb1 Jude Barber, @judebarber100 Stephen Skrynka, @stephenskrynka Ranald MacInnes, @ranaldmacinnes Julie Laing, @j_a_laing Leila Galloway, @leilagalloway Rory Hamilton @everythingiknow ‘Unconformity’ is a geological phenomenon revealing a missing span of millions of years between rock layers. (discovered in 1787 by James Hutton at Siccar Point, Berwickshire, Scotland) This concept serves as a powerful metaphor for cultural loss: the ways in which histories can be fragmented, obscured or deliberately erase

It was a privilege yesterday to hear from @hdeweyh about her research, her approach to sound and music, editing and the writing of the libretto for Hybrid: an Interspecies Opera. Thank you Heather for sharing so generously your work and the @uofg_arc for organising the event.

Really excited about the upcoming screening of Heather Dewey-Hagborg's Hybrid: an Interspecies Opera at the @uofg_arc on Tuesday 12 May, starting at 5.30 PM. The screening will be followed by a conversation with the artist and Q&A. Event free but ticketed (Link in Bio) Dr. Heather Dewey-Hagborg (@hdeweyh ) is a New York-based American/Canadian artist and biohacker interested in art as research and technological critique. 🎬 12th May: Film screening and Q&A A screening of Heather’s short film, “Hybrid: an Interspecies Opera” followed by discussion and Q&A.

I am still chuffed from colleagues and students' warm welcome at my seminar at @ve_dph . A big thank you to Prof. Franz Fischer and Dr Paolo Berti for inviting me to share my research in such a meaningful and inspiring context, and to artist Rachel Finkelstein for joining me to discuss her work and her pioneering experimentation. After my presentation, the students, colleagues, and I discussed the impact of technology and AI in our everyday life and on our creative approaches, loss of jobs in creative industries and Humanities, how to subvert the male gaze through technology, and how to portray our bodies and narratives on social media and through AI drawing from the artworks presented. I left the room inspired and I hope we will continue our conversation in the next few months. A big thank to all the artists who inspired my presentation and allowed me to use their images. @beverley.hood.studio @elenacologni @rachelfinkelstein1206 @imcar0 @assuntaruocco_studio @ourdaysofgold_film @elisabetta_di_sopra @niya___b @xtineburrough @badvibel Captions: Beverly Hood, Mother, 2024, generative AI short film, still.
