For example, we are interested in the impact of digital technologies, bio technology and artificial life on marketing, as well as the exploring the value of advertising in understanding cognitive processes, conceptual modelling and theories of mind. The conference is convened in order to enable ideas from a variety of campaign, scientific and other sources to surface, be exchanged and developed in ways which might further our individual practice and research in both science and commerce. Some of the issues addressed by research fellows and students at CAiiM include: Mapping & Responsive Visualisation Transformation Future Body Public - Personal Spaces Dream Consciousness & Reality Sonic Re-Embodiment/Sonic Disembodiment Left Brain Navigation Immersive Spaces Psychological Architectures & Incorporation Bodies The Cybernetics of Architecture Cyberception & Paranature ________________________________________________________________________ CONSCIOUSNESS REFRAMED advertising and consciousness in the post-biological era Paper / Panel / Multimedia/Performance Proposal: Name Organisation Address Tel Fax Email URL I plan to attend the First International CAiiM Research Conference, Consciousness Reframed, on 15-16 July 1997 at the University of Wales College, Cardiff I intend to submit a paper based on the following abstract: (no more than 250 words) I intend to propose a panel based on the following description: (no more than 250 words plus an indication of possible panelists) I intend to make a multimedia presentation/performance as outlined: (no more than 250 words plus indication of technical requirements) Return by December 25 via email to: Joseph Nechvatal: [email protected] __________________________________________________________________________ CAiiM http://CAiiMmind.nsad.cardiff.ac.uk is a Research Centre of the University of Wales College, Cardiff, based in the Cardiff School of Marketing and Design, offering MPhil and PhD research programmes in the Interactive Advertising.
