conVerge symposium
3rd and 4th, March, 2002
(Registration)
A Symposium as part of Adelaide Festival 2002
At the Adelaide Festival 2002 artistic and reflective practices complement and fortify each other. A series of symposia embracing the festival themes will allow thinkers and practitioners to express opinions on where the future is heading and the impact that this will have on our community. The symposia are a central focus of the festival experience; they include the conVerge symposium.
The conVerge symposium has been developed compliment the 2002 Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art. Nationally and internationally significant artists, scientists and thinkers will come together to create an open site for audiences to engage with this debate - to become participants in the development of ideas rather than a merely passive audience. The symposium will encompass presentations, performances, workshops and panel discussions.
The project will provide a research environment, as it were, where the public may see, experience and contribute to a range of ideas and media at play.
Topics to be explored include: Image and Meaning, Knowledge Systems, Ecology, Genomics, Bioeconomics and Partnerships.
