[Leonardo/ISAST]

Second Call for Abstracts for MutaMorphosis
A Leonardo 40th Anniversary celebration
http://mutamorphosis.org/

Deadline to submit abstracts: 31 January 2007.

MutaMorphosis: Challenging Arts and Sciences
8-10 November 2007, Prague, Czech Republic

The international conference will concentrate on the growing interest -- 
within the worlds of the arts, sciences and technologies -- in EXTREME 
AND HOSTILE ENVIRONMENTS. These environments appear as symptomatic 
indicators of the mutations that are taking place. They are potential 
vectors that make possible an awareness of the different problems at the 
origin of the disturbances that threaten the ensemble of the Earth's 
eco-systems.

We invite practitioners in the arts, sciences, engineering and 
humanities to submit abstracts that explore the limits and extremes 
within the following streams of interest:

1. LIFE
How do the arts and sciences deal with new ideas about strategies of 
life in extreme conditions?

2. SPACE
How do the arts and sciences face radical scales and extreme environments?

3. COGNITION
How do the arts and sciences address evolving ideas about cognition in 
extreme environments?

500-word abstracts required by 31 January 2007 via email to 
mutamorphosis at ciant.cz <mailto:mutamorphosis at ciant.cz>

All submitted abstracts will be peer reviewed by the members of 
International Advisory Committee including Marc Battier, Nina Czegeldy, 
Michele Emmer, Machiko Kusahara, Lubica Lacinova, Michael Punt, Sonya 
Rapoport, Nicolas Reeves and others.

Submissions accepted and presented at the conference will be published 
in the conference proceedings. The conference is organised by CIANT as 
part of the ENTER festival in the framework of the Leonardo 40th 
anniversary celebrations. The festival will feature also the first 
retrospective exhibition of Frank J. Malina.

Conference Honorary Panel includes: Rudolf Arnheim, Ivan M. Havel, Jasia 
Reichardt, Itsuo Sakane, Sonia Sheridan
