<br>
MutaMorphosis: Challenging Arts and Sciences <br>
8-10 November 2007, Prague, Czech Republic<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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:<br>
<br>
1. LIFE<br>
How do the arts and sciences deal with new ideas about strategies of
life in extreme conditions?
<br>
<br>
2. SPACE<br>
How do the arts and sciences face radical scales and extreme
environments?<br>
<br>
3. COGNITION<br>
How do the arts and sciences address evolving ideas about cognition in
extreme environments?<br>
<br>
500-word abstracts required by 31 January 2007 via email to<a
href="mailto:mutamorphosis@ciant.cz"> mutamorphosis@ciant.cz</a><br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.
