cross-disciplinary debate about complexity in contemporary living -
investigating new areas of practice which have arisen through the
convergence and hybridisation of established disciplines.

addressing the ungraspable spaces in-between disciplines and concept
boundaries the non* is what emerges as the consequence of convergent and
expanded networks - networks of transactions, communications, accidental
meetings, business lunches, data packets, radiowaves, flirtations - beyond
the economy of information lies the economy of connectivity - networks of
networks - in the excess of connectivity, where links are constructed
between previously discrete practices, nonPractices establish the
possibilities of what could be - nonPractices expose a critical and
hypothetical working, doing, acting and thinking through of established
practices - developing a confidence about the unknown - a knowing undoing
and conscious rebuilding.

non* - nonSymposium connects popular and institutional discourses, the tv
talk show and the intellectual debate.  Panelists from backgrounds in the
corporate world, new media and urban theory, hacking and product design,
will explore the possible nonPractices which emerge from the connectivity
between and beyond their disciplines.
