An international conference to look at new developments in art, science,
technology and consciousness.

CAiiA Director: Roy Ascott ([email protected])

Conference Coordinator: Joseph Nechvatal ([email protected])

Programme Committee: Jonathan Bedworth ([email protected]),

The term "post-biological" is intended to cover all aspects of life
which are mediated, extended or transformed by technology, including,
and in the case of this conference, the mind and consciousness. 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
