Call for Proposals: Round 2 – proposals Due Friday July 27 (response by Friday 1st of August)
ADA Mesh Cities is a multi-year project that emerged out of the events and transitional architectures of post earthquake Christchurch, engaging in discussions of urban space, social engagement, memory and speculative futures.
The Space : Network : Memory symposium in Auckland 12-14 September 2014 asks what roles are digital networks playing in our ability to reveal and understand the layers of a city? How does this affect contemporary practices in art, architecture, urban planning and related fields?
We invite responses that might engage physically, psychologically, spiritually and/or playfully with the visible and hidden structures and systems of Auckland – Tamaki Makaurau.
Space : Network : Memory welcomes proposals for provocations, panel participation and presentations of work engaging with aspects of the broad range of practices and approaches necessary for rethinking the contemporary city, the networks that surround and emerge from it, and the memories it holds.

Space : Network : Memory in Auckland is the 9th ADA Network symposium. ADA symposia have a formidable reputation for critical collegial exchange within the expanded field of digital and media arts. This September we extend that conversation through participation with Auckland Live and again foray into the urban environment around the venue responding to the themes generated by the ADA Network research project Mesh Cities Christchurch.
