INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON TRANSMEDIA ACTIVISM: Creativity & Expanded Information

SALÓN DE GRADOS – Puerta de Toledo, UC3M & ISTITUTO ITALIANO DI CULTURA – C/ Mayor, 86 - Madrid

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON TRANSMEDIA ACTIVISM:
Creativity & Expanded Information

The term "transmedia" applied to activism invites us to reflect on the participatory dynamics for civic action present in Digital Communication.
What would happen if we also applied creativity to social mobilization? We would need to review inspiring examples of multiplatform practices from Popular Culture Memetics to Experiential Marketing, Immersive Journalism or Media Art. Adopting Intermediality as a starting point, in this conference we will pay special attention to the growing role of User Generated Content (UGC), by allowing both new formulas to access information and attractive visualization strategies for the data obtained. Collaborative practices tend to facilitate an approach to phenomena invisible to traditional media, allowing greater awareness and even direct intervention on reality itself.
We will reflect on the role of information as content and a means of creative expression through the activation of transmedia interventions that include immersive installations, virtual and augmented reality environments, hacker operations, gamification or collective performances. A series of guerrilla actions, significant in terms of media innovation, which also contribute to the redefinition of the concept of activism and citizen participation in the third decade of the 21st century.
