SMC2018 Conference is taking place in Cyprus, an island drenched in sun and mythology, at the crossroads of ancient civilizations with a remarkably rich legacy in archaeological treasures and developed tourism infrastructure.
The Conference is organized by Cyprus University of Technology, Department of Communication and Internet Studies.
Sonic Crossings
Sound and music are able to cross boundaries, to eliminate borderlines and overcome physical and digital limitations. The conference theme evokes the rich cultural landscape and soundscape of Cyprus, a country predominantly made up of Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities divided by a military border.
Despite the political problems, Cyprus enjoys a dynamic and complex cultural and sonic unification not only through the resonances and overtones of these two strong ethnic communities but also through those of several other nationalities inhabiting the island.
