MediaModes is an interdisciplinary graduate student conference, which provides a
critical forum to present current scholarship and academic research projects at the
intersection of media, art, and society. Interdisciplinary by design, MediaModes is
particularly interested in engaging papers that address the following issues: Media Art
and Social Theory, Mediated Image Making, Popular Culture and Art Practices, Identity
and Representation within the Mediated Environment, Philosophy and Media Art, Visual
Culture and more. All themes pertaining to the juncture of media, theory and the visual
arts will be considered.

Open to all current graduate students and those who have received a graduate degree
