For example, we are interested in the impact of digital technologies, bio technology and artificial life on art, as well as the exploring the value of art in understanding cognitive processes, conceptual modelling and theories of mind. The conference is convened in order to enable ideas from a variety of artistic, scientific and other sources to surface, be exchanged and developed in ways which might further our individual practice and research in both science and art. Some of the issues addressed by research fellows and students at CAiiA 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 art 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 CAiiA Research Conference, Consciousness Reframed, on 5-6 July 1997 at the University of Wales College, Newport 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 15 via email to: Joseph Nechvatal: [email protected] __________________________________________________________________________ CAiiA http://caiiamind.nsad.newport.ac.uk is a Research Centre of the University of Wales College, Newport, based in the Newport School of Art and Design, offering MPhil and PhD research programmes in the Interactive Arts.
