WHY MEDIA MEET?
WHY MEDIA MEET?
MEDIA MEET is the annual international conference of the Department of Media Studies, CHRIST (Deemed to be University) Bangalore, India. This platform will allow students to gain insights and knowledge from renowned academicians, researchers, and practitioners. Media Meet creates a forum to deliberate on topics lying at the interstices of media, culture, and society. The event is managed by the students of the MA in Digital Media with Analytics.
CONCEPT NOTE
CONCEPT NOTE
In a society where data shapes both information and imagination, the convergence of data and art is transforming how media is created, experienced, and interpreted. Traditionally, art has been seen as an expression of human creativity, while data has been associated with objectivity and analysis. However, in the digital age, these distinctions are increasingly blurred, as computational art, algorithmic storytelling, and immersive AR/VR experiences demonstrate how data is no longer just a tool for measurement but a medium for creative expression and innovation.
As the bridge between data, art, and society, media plays a crucial role in translating raw information into compelling narratives that inform, engage, and inspire. The integration of predictive analytics, AI and immersive technologies is redefining journalism, artistic agency, marketing and digital storytelling, challenging traditional frameworks and raising questions about authenticity, creative ownership, and ethical responsibility in a data-driven media landscape.
This evolving intersection of data and art—and its societal implications—forms the foundation of Media Meet 2025. The 16th edition of the conference seeks to explore how emerging technologies are reshaping media industries, creative practices, and audience engagement. By bridging quantitative precision with qualitative expression, Media Meet 2025 fosters interdisciplinary discussions among students, scholars, and industry leaders, ensuring that media remains innovative, ethical, and inclusive in an increasingly data-driven world.
