The International Association for Research with Visual and Multimodal Methods, VisualModi, invites abstracts for its 2025 conference, which will take place in Tenerife (Spain) from 19 to 21 November at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of La Laguna. The deadline for submissions is 30 April 2025 at 23h59 UTC. 

The congresses of the VisualModi association cover a wide variety of topics defined by our 4 Working Groups and the Exhibition Space 5, which together address research with the application of visual and multimodal methods, as well as theoretical studies on this methodological set and the epistemology of visuality. The congress is committed to alternative scientific writing and the communication of research through audiovisual and interactive content. Therefore, proposals in textual, visual, audiovisual, interactive and other multimodal forms of research presentation are welcome. We welcome all papers that comply with the general themes of the conference, the composition and lines of which can be consulted at the end of the text:

-        WG1. Technological innovation and visual methodologies

-        WG2. Participatory and expository visual methods

-        WG3. Epistemology and visuality studies

-        WG4. Urban space, territories and mobile methods

-        WG5. Exhibition space

As in previous editions, a specific theme is also proposed with the aim of generating and studying new perspectives for visual methods and the image in its different sessions. In this way, we open the congress to new researchers who want to participate and learn about the scientific activities of the association. The theme of this 5th edition, ‘Visual Methods and Artificial Intelligence: the challenges of Surveillance Capitalism’, offers an opportunity to explore traditional, contemporary and future challenges in the global field of visual methodologies for social research. Not all proposals have to address the central theme.
