The circus conference will bring
together artists, designers, performers, theorists and computer scientists to
debate the research issues posed by the next generation of advanced information
technology for the creative and performing arts, media and the electronic
publishing industry (in its broadest sense).

The circus conference will bring together previously distinct disciplines and
encourages the replacement of 'technology push' by 'creative pull' for
multiple-media research that integrates advanced technologies with new media
types and modes of creation. The circus conference will relate technological
applications research to content issues in a theoretical understanding of
vision, sound and movement.
