DRHA 2010 Conference: Digital Resources for the Humanities and Arts
Sunday 5th September - Wednesday 8th September 2010
Brunel University, West London
www.drha2010.org.uk


CONFERENCE THEME: Sensual Technologies: Collaborative Practices of Interdisciplinarity

The conference’s overall theme will be the exploration of the
collaborative relationship between the body and sensual/sensing
technologies across various disciplines. In this respect it will offer
an interrogation of practices that are indebted to the innovative
exchange between the sensual, visceral and new technologies.
At the same time, the aim is to look to new approaches offered by
various emerging fields and practices that incorporate new and existing
technologies. Specific examples of areas for discussion could include:

• Delineation of new collaborative practices and the interchange of knowledge
• Collaborative interdisciplinary practices of embodiment and technology
• Integration/deployment of digital resources in new contexts
• Connections and tensions that exist between the Arts, Humanities and Science
• Notions of the ‘solitary’ and the ‘collaborative’ across the Arts, Humanities, and Sciences
• eScience in the Arts and Humanities
• Use of digital resources in collaborative creative work, teaching, learning and scholarship
• Open source and second generation Web infrastructure
• Digital media in time and space
• Music and technology: composition and performance
• Dance and interactive technologies
• Taking inspiration from SET: imaging, GPS and mobile technologies
• Evaluating the experience among providers and users / performers and audiences
• Interface Design and HCI
• Performative Practices in SecondLife or other virtual platforms
• New critical paradigms for the conference’s theme

The DRHA (Digital Resources for the Humanities and Arts) conference is
held annually at various academic venues throughout the UK. This year’s
conference is hosted by Brunel University, West London. It will take
place from Sunday 5th September to Wednesday 8th September 2010. It
will be held across various innovative spaces, including the newly
