Hedonistika-Buch: Call for Papers

“Hedonistika: Montréal” was an exhibition held at the Musée d’art
contemporain in Montréal as part of the International Digital Arts
Biennial (BIAN) in May 2014. The exhibition was a multi-modal event that
brought together food scholars, artists, and roboticists to examine the
innumerable (and often hidden) ways in which technology and food are
related. By engaging with the
hegemony-challenging ideology of hacking and creating, participants
interrogated and exposed the mutually constructive bonds of food and
tech, while proposing alternative, playful, and stimulating
reconfigurations. The event proposed a hack: a hybrid of bricolage,
play, criticality, and cross-disciplinary collaboration. The goal of
Hedonistika was to reflect and perhaps undo the assumptions and habits
that frame our everyday interactions with both food and technology,
while making evident their often-neglected entanglements. The goal was
to merge research-creation with critical analysis, and community
engagement with celebration. To compliment the exhibition catalogue we
are now looking for papers that explore the critical issues within these
realms.

See http://janetingley.com/hedonistika/ and http://www.hedonistika.com/ for details of the exhibition.

We are looking for a diverse range of text – from academic to more
experimental. Your contribution should not exceed 40 000 characters
including the title, a short biography (max. 10 lines) and references.
In addition, the number of images (diagrams, etc.) should be reduced to
an absolute minimum. The images must be sent as separate files in
print-quality (300dpi) and must be accompanied by complete captions
(copyright information, source, etc.). The language of publication is
English.

We would like you to complete the finished text by
October 31st 2014 by the latest and send the electronic version (as a
Word document, Times New Roman, font size 12 for the main text, font
size 10 for block quotations) to

Thank you in advance for your efforts!

Very best wishes,
Guenther Friesinger, Johannes Grenzfurthner, Jane Tingley and Simon Laroche
