If you want to find out if Edward Shanken and Roy Ascott embrace each other as much as they do technology, you better get to San Francisco for May 10th (5:00- 7:00 pm SFAI Quad) where they will discuss the launch of ‘Telematic Embrace: Visionary Theories of Art, Technology, and Consciousness’ a selection of Ascott’s most important essays edited, and with a great essay by Shanken of ISIS at Duke University. Ascott will also be discussing his new transdisciplinary journal 'Technoetic Arts' which covers topics from nanotechnology to shamanism and cyberspace. ‘Long before e-mail and the Internet permeated society, Ascott coined the term ‘’telematic art’’ to describe the use of online computer networks as an artistic medium…’ – prophecy and passion, a heady mix! http://www.sfai-art.com/database/SFAI_Events_detail.asp?id_event=923
