Event Details | 13th Australian Media Traditions Conference 2023 Parent Australian Media Traditions Conference Delivery In person Event Date 20 to end of 21 Sep 2023 Event Location Toowoomba, Australia Event Venue University of Southern Queensland Event Description The conference theme is media 'beyond boundaries'. Many media move beyond boundaries, whether national or international. Media has been a driving force of globalisation. Print may be distributed widely, cable services connect nations, broadcasts do not stop at borders, and the Internet connects world-wide. As Ashforth, Kreiner, and Fugate remarked in 2000, “the concept of boundaries has been used in numerous disciplines to refer to the physical, temporal, emotional, cognitive and/or relational limits that define entities as separate from one another”. Boundaries can therefore include nation state borders, cultural, political, legal, regulatory, personal, social and temporal boundaries, and boundaries between media platforms themselves. Australian Media Traditions 2023 invites scholars to share research perspectives on media’s historical movements beyond boundaries, both within Australia and internationally. Conference to cover areas including media institutions (newspaper, magazine, radio, television, and cinema), advertising, audiences, book publishing, digital gaming, journalism, libraries, media preservation and archiving, policy and regulation, publishers and printers, convergence and technological developments. Although offers connected to the theme of “beyond boundaries” are encouraged, all proposals for papers and panels will be considered. Event Web Address (URL) |
Abstract | Charles Babbage created the first computer in 1823. Kodak invented 16mm film in 1923. Merging the two technologies of computers and film together has given us AI in 2023. As it is the centenary of the invention and release of 16mm film this year, I wanted to replicate the production of a 16mm short film using the same techniques as those pioneers 100 years ago. I then used 2023 Artificial Intelligence in the production process. Having sourced the first ever 16mm camera, the Cine-Kodak Model A hand cranked camera, I made a short 10 minute film, called “The Troxler Effect”, with tungsten lights, hand drawn credits and titles cards, and a soundtrack composed and played on a 1920s cinema organ. I then applied AI to certain images. From this I wanted to recognise the leap of technologies from 1823 to 1923 to 2023. |
