Call for Presentation Proposals

The Graduate Center of the
City University of New York (CUNY)

How can the facts of scientific research and the powerful metaphors of art
combine to impact society at large? Some artists and scientists are
exploring the promise of art-sci collaborative projects. ArtSci2001 will be
the third international art-sci symposium produced by Art & Science
Collaborations, Inc.(ASCI). This year, it is being organized in conjunction
with the Science Research and the Continuing Education & Public Programs
departments of the Graduate Center at City University of New York. It will
include project presentations, breakout sessions, poster sessions, and
associated exhibitions and performances.
ArtSci2001 will be a major international event for those interested in the
explosion of activities at the intersection of art, science, and technology.
Not only will it provide a platform for sharing and learning among artists,
scientists, writers, producers, and educators, but it will also serve as an
important showcase where potential funders and technology companies can find
new talent and projects to support, and venues for both prototyping and
premiering public art-sci presentations will be found. Seed money for this
symposium has been received from the Rockefeller Foundation.
