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.

The Webinar: Art, Technology & the Unseen
July 13th, 2025
Steve Elkins is a documentary filmmaker and multimedia artist whose work combines sound, philosophy, science, and visual narrative. His critically acclaimed documentary Echoes of the Invisible unites a variety of people, including journalists, scientists, monks, and a blind ultramarathon runner, as they all traverse harsh mental and physical environments in search of purpose. The film's poetic visual flair and depth of insight have garnered plaudits since its South by South-west (SXSW) premiere.
ABOUT THE WEBINAR
As part of the Pre–Media Meet 2025 initiatives, the Department of Media Studies at CHRIST (Deemed to be University), Yeshwanthpur Campus, hosted a thought-provoking webinar with filmmaker Steve Elkins on 12 July 2025.
The webinar, which students facilitated, provided attendees with an invaluable chance to interact with Steve Elkins directly. He started by responding to questions that had been submitted in advance, discussing topics such as the philosophical depth of his subjects, ethical storytelling, and the use of sound and quiet.
Elkins also considered how technology affects artistic practice and the use of AI in creative fields. With a live Q&A at the end of the class, students gained insight into his filming process and how to reconcile meaning and aesthetics in documentaries.
This thoughtful exchange served as a meaningful extension of the screening, aligning with the spirit of Media Meet 2025: Data and Society.
