The Consciousness Reframed conference series was founded by Roy Ascott at the University of Wales in 1997. It has subsequently been hosted in universities in England, Australia, China and Austria. Consciousness Reframed is a forum for transdisciplinary inquiry into art, science, technology, design and consciousness, drawing upon the expertise and insights of artists, designers, architects, performers, musicians, writers, scientists, and scholars, usually from at least 20 countries. The year 2009, the 10th Annual International Consciousness Reframed Conference will be held on the campus of the University of Applied Sciences in Munich, MFM. The conference will include researchers associated with the Planetary Collegium, which has its CAiiA-hub at Plymouth and nodes at the Nuova Accademia di Belle Arte, Milan, and the Zürcher Hochschule der Künste, Zürich. In addition there is a call for proposals to present at the conference.
