Consciousness Reframed: art & consciousness in the post-biological era is an international research conference that was first convened in 1997, and is now in its 8th incarnation. It is a forum for transdisciplinary inquiry into art, technology and consciousness, drawing upon the expertise and insights of artists, architects, performers, musicians, writers, scientists, and scholars, usually from at least 20 countries. Recent past conferences were convened in Beijing and Perth Western Australia. Last year the conference, with sixty-six presentations, was organized under the rubric of Altered States, a theme that will be continued this year. Papers are also invited which will explore the theme of Immateriality. As last year, the conference will be held on the main campus of the University of Plymouth, England. The conference will include researchers associated with the Planetary Collegium, which has its CAiiA–hub at Plymouth, and nodes in Peking University, Beijing, the Nuova Accademia di Belle Arte, Milan, and the Hochschule für Gestaltung und Kunst, Zurich. The Collegium benefits from the advice of the distinguished members of its New Knowledge Advisory Board James K. Gimzewski, Roger Malina, Thomas S. Ray, Marilyn Schlitz. http://www.planetary-collegium.net/
