The term "post-biological" is intended to cover all aspects of life which are
mediated, extended or transformed by technology, including, and in the case of
this conference, the mind and consciousness. For example, we are interested in
the impact of digital technologies, bio technology and artificial life on
marketing,
as well as the exploring the value of advertising in understanding
cognitive processes,
conceptual modelling and theories of mind. The conference is convened in
order to
enable ideas from a variety of campaign, scientific and other sources to
surface, be exchanged and developed in ways which might further our individual
practice and research in both science and commerce.

Some of the issues addressed by research fellows and students at CAiiM include:
Mapping & Responsive Visualisation
Transformation Future Body
Public - Personal Spaces
Dream Consciousness & Reality
Sonic Re-Embodiment/Sonic Disembodiment
Left Brain Navigation
Immersive Spaces
Psychological Architectures & Incorporation Bodies
The Cybernetics of Architecture
Cyberception & Paranature
