Plenary Panel Discussion with Damon Krukowski: The New Analog, or What's your medium up to? Chair: Sebastian Chan, Australian Centre for the Moving Image, Australia Join Seb Chan, Chief Experience Office of the Australian Center for the Moving Image, as he interviews Damon Krukowski, creator of “Ways of Hearing,” and The New Analog and moderates a panel discussion about what is lost, and what is gained, as we move across media. How do digital translations and transmedia experiences challenge the borders and definitions of the media we use today, and what “meaningful signals” might we unwittingly sacrifice as “noise” in our search for “fidelity”? Joining the panel discussion are leading practitioners in a range of media: Halsey Burgund, sound artist and creator of the Roundware platform; Diane Borger, executive producer at ART and of the immersive theater blockbuster, “Sleep No More;” Sharna Jackson, artistic director of SITE Gallery, Sheffield, and curator of MWX; and Kellian Adams Pletcher, founder and CEO of Green Door Labs’ mobile and location-based learning experiences and curator of the MWX Arcade. |

The Inclusive Design and Accessibility Answer Hour Chair: Sina Bahram, Prime Access Consulting, Inc., USA Help us build an accessibility and inclusive design knowledge base for our field. Corey Timpson and Sina Bahram team up for an hour of documented questions and answers. Bring your accessibility and inclusive design queries and solutions – from Firefox to fire exits, from visual description to visual design – and help us build a knowledge base of best practices for the community by the community. Through our work we encounter complex scenarios that demand complex and nuanced solutions, and yet we also encounter common issues that saturate the cultural landscape. Symptoms require treatment, but sustainability and advancement field-wide will only come from informing ourselves at the cause level. |
