<span style="font-kerning: none;">From <b>4 to 6 February 2026</b>, we will be organising the <b>second edition of Vision and Depiction</b>, for which <b>abstract submission is now open</b> and will <b>close on 15 November</b>.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-kerning: auto; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-feature-settings: normal; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-variation-settings: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">We invite <b>artists, designers, scholars, and scientists</b> interested in the <b>formal aspects of vision and depiction</b>. This focus originates from a reappraisal of formal analysis — particularly those formal elements
that <b>bridge science and art</b>, such as <b>texture, colour, light, shape, space, material, motion</b>, and more.<br>
We are also interested in whether these formal elements apply to the <b>representation (motif)</b> or the <b>artwork’s surface (medium)</b> — and how they may interact. Lastly, we welcome contributions exploring the <b>relationship between formal elements and
their iconographic or semiotic meaning</b>.</span></p>
