Ephemeral Media
Over the next two months, the University of Nottingham is organising two exciting events featuring some of the most highly-regarded figures in the UK and US academia and renowned industry professionals.
The first workshop in the series (23rd-24th June) will focus on ‘user-generated’ content, in particular the kinds of ephemeral online video that are seen on sites such as YouTube. The second workshop (21st-22nd July) will focus on the promotional ephemera used by media companies to capture the attention of audiences; it will consider short creative forms such as logos, promos, trailers and channel ‘idents’. Together, the ephemeral media workshop will invite reflection on the significance of screen ephemera – on those forms of screen culture that, whilst momentary, remain active components of media experience. In investigating this area, the workshop will bring together academics from a range of disciplines as well as those involved in making the kinds of media in question.
