“Taboo – Transgression – Transcendence in Art & Science”
, includingtheoretical and artwork presentations.The
conference
focuses: a) on questions about the nature of the forbidden and about the aesthetics of liminality– as expressed in art that uses or is inspired by technology and science, b) in the opening of spaces for creativetransformation in the merging of science and art. This year’s conference is inspired by the work of the pioneerswho challenged the linear thinking towards spatial arts and time-based media and the ones who were able totranscend the illusion of reality and the confines of technology. It is dedicated to all those who keep pushing thelimits further than the next gadget and understand the essential role of fantasy when synchronized with reality.One step further, one more time, knowing that the truly opening dimension might be towards the voyaging ofconsciousness.
