I tried to fwd the original circular for this conference but it was too big and got bounced back, so here is a summary. Virtual Futures 2.0'11 Conference 18-19 June 2011, , Warwick UK Cyber Conference on Art, Performance, Philosophy and Emerging Technology Keynote: Stelarc Virtual Futures will gather together leading academics and practitioners to discuss the implications of emerging communication and information technologies. The conference promises to reconnect audiences with one of the most important intellectual and cultural developments of our times the technological extension of the human condition, and will serve to raise awareness about the continuing significance of the issues addressed by the original conferences. http://virtualfutures.co.uk It looks great, especially for people like me who went to the first Virtual Futures in the 1990s _________________ Professor Sue Thomas Faculty of Humanities/Institute of Creative Technologies Clephan 1.01d De Montfort University The Gateway Leicester LE1 9BH, UK e: sue.thomas@dmu.ac.uk t: @suethomas w: Nature and Cyberspace: stories, memes and metaphors http://www.thewildsurmise.com <http://www.thewildsurmise.com/>
