Hello, I would like to submitt information about the event on Art, Counsiousness and Technology to the Dance-tech list. Summary: F.A.q. Questions about Art, Consciousness and Technology November 30, December 1 and 2, 2006 SESC Paulista Avenida Paulista, 119 São Paulo, SP, Brazil Phone (55-11) 3179-3796 www.faq.art.br The idea of this forum is to establish an open dialogue between general public and people dedicated to the interface between art, consciousness and technology. In the forum, the question plays the major role of relating the complexity of the participants´ projects and issues of daily reality in the voice of the invited ?perguntadores? (?question makers?). The ?perguntadores? will be intellectuals related to each of the five main topics of the round tables, but not particularly engaged in the context of art and technology. They will mediate each round table, presenting its particular theme in their point of view, and will intercede with questions by the end of all presentations in the round. Each round table is related to a question: 1- What has been explored, and what is still to be explored in interactivity in the digital media realm? 2- What are the possible relations between art and science? 3-How body is affected by the new life dimensions mediated technology give raise to? 4-What can be anticipated about the future of culture? 5- How does technology interfere in consciousness? F.A.q. will gather 17 members of the Planetary Collegium, an international community of artists and researchers directed by the visionary artist and Theorist Roy Ascott with Brazilian artists and prominent intellectuals in the fields of science, culture and thought in a program of three days of lectures, round tables and commented digital art shows. Thank you! Lali Krotoszynski
