\nDescription and topics of the Conference
\nThe Department of Audio and Visual Arts of the Ionian University organizes for the second year in a row the interdisciplinary conference “Taboo – Transgression – Transcendence in Art & Science”, including theoretical and artwork presentations. In 26-28 May 2017 the conference will take place once more in the island of Corfu.
\nThe conference continues to focus: a) on questions\u00e2\u20ac\u00a8about the nature of the forbidden and about the aesthetics of liminality – as expressed in art that uses or is inspired by technology and science, b) in the opening of spaces for creative transformation in the merging of science and art. Besides the call for papers and artwork presentation, this year’s conference also includes a call for posters, organized in conjunction with the A-Club of the Planetary Collegium. Art\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s playfully transgressive nature offers creative bypasses to the grammar of science and expands the dialogue with its openness to a multiplicity towards the new. Nevertheless, art \u00e2\u20ac\u201c albeit its originary affinity with the taboo \u00e2\u20ac\u201c is never completely liberated from moral considerations. Deeply involved into this lively discourse on the nature of the taboo, art becomes the very domain of contemporary experimentation with transgression, in order to provoke and sparkle discourse, catalyzing possible forms of transcendence.
\nSubmissions are welcome from all art and research fields with emphasis on filmmaking, illustration, video art, sound art \/ electroacoustic music, photography, animation, videogames, computer art, installation art, performance art, bio art, net.art, electronic art, robotic art and cutting-edge technology in art research.
