Topics might include, but are not limited to:

- Media as affective interfaces

- Specific affective practices, poetics or platforms of media and art

- Objects, materials, bodies and artefacts as media for affect

- Fleshy encounters with/in art and media

- Affect as medium

- Affect as mediated (through bodies, screens, events etc.)

- The affective entanglements of aesthetic artefacts and bodies

- The analysis of affective potentialities/modes of media or art practices
