All Images and Information taken from the site:
which you must VISIT for more information about this symposium!there's a BLOG!
And a POD CAST you can sign up for!
If you can't be part of the party - you can watch it from a distance like me... longingly... lustfully... uggg.. I can't believe I just found out about this.
You will know you'll be on the right page when you see this image... and now that I've seen Tracy's work, I'll write about her later too.... The Key Note Speakers are Eduardo Kac - Who's works I've referenced before and gave a talk about his "Eduina" piece at the Wiseman Art Museum. (*links and follow up information will be posted)
I will write more and add more images about him in a bit.
& a personal hero of mine:
E.O. Wilson who is not only one of the most adorable scientists of all time, but was known for his revolutionary studies with insect colonies and evolutions. He's amazing, and I must find the video with him and the fire ants for you to really understand both this guy's genius and genuine excitement and love of science!
Expect more information, links and pictures coming up.
I promised my dog 30 minutes ago that were were going for a walk, - but checking my e-mail, i discovered this - and stop the presses!

Join a group of more than 30 international experts - including artists, scientists, historians, ethicists, curators, sociologists, and writers - as they discuss the intersections between the visual arts and evolution. This past year, in celebration of the 200th anniversary of Darwin's birth and the 150th anniversary of the publication of his book, On the Origin of Species, a number of conferences were held around the world focusing on the impact of the concept of evolution. This symposium will be a platform to discuss both the ideas generated from those activities and the present impact of evolutionary thought on visual culture.
Visit http://vcande.blogspot.com/ to follow the discussion.
Kevin Finneran, editor in chief of Issues in Science and Technology, will moderate the discussion. Issues is the quarterly policy journal published by the National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering, Institute of Medicine , and University of Texas at Dallas
