Academic fields can be SO DISAPPOINTING
Oh, a "critical digital heritage" conference, right up my street!
But the topics are: VR simulations of ancient buildings, Mobile apps and public engagement, Virtual museology and exhibitions, Computer-generated reconstructions of historic sites, etc...
Ooh, a "live electronics" performance! But that just means doodling with max patch parameters and no live soldering AT ALL.
What exciting-sounding academic fields have you been disappointed by?
