Tallinn University’s symposium - Call for Papers

Symposium: The value of blockchains for the media industries

https://publicvalueofdata.tlu.ee/symposium/

Tallinn University’s Baltic Film, Media and Arts School will organise a symposium to investigate both the existing visions for and the real-world endeavours and practices of using blockchains in the media and cultural industries. The symposium, which will take place on 23–24 May (in Tallinn), invites empirical as well as theoretical contributions that focus on the value of blockchains as specific technologies for data governance in the media industries. What value is being pursued/sought, who is creating value, who is extracting it and who is governing the exchange of that created value?

The symposium’s keynote talk will be provided by Professor Ellie Rennie (RMIT University) and select industry experts.

The deadline for submitting abstracts is February 15th. Decisions will be communicated back to authors by February 28th.

Abstract submission: https://publicvalueofdata.tlu.ee/submission/

All presenters will be invited to submit their papers to the special issue of the Baltic Screen Media Review that will be published at the end of 2024.

Participation fee: 80 euros.
