An international event comprising a symposium, exhibition, masterclass and public talk investigating collaborative art and science practices and their relationship with the human body.
Taking place over two days, the Super Human symposium will present an invigorating and inspiring mix of keynote speakers and collaborative research projects engaging with one or more of the symposium themes: Augmentation, Cognition and Nanoscale Interventions.
Questions that the symposium will address include, but are not limited to: How do scientific and artistic bodies of knowledge intersect with human, social bodies? Does art serve simply as a representational tool for the sciences or is there more to the picture than that? Does research into bodies and their systems offer an insight into aesthetics, or is it confined to the purely functional?
Abstracts are invited from either individual or team-based researchers, artists and scientists. Submitted abstracts will undergo a double-blind referee process, with successful applicants invited to submit their paper prior to final acceptance. Symposium proceedings will be published in Second Nature: the International Journal of Creative Media in March 2010. Second Nature is supported by RMIT University’s School of Creative Media. See secondnature.rmit.edu.au for more information.
Please submit all abstracts (and any questions) to the Conference Convenor: as@anat.org.au
