Apologies for cross-posting
The VRI '98 Workshop - September 22nd - 24th.
Foresight Centre, University of Liverpool, UK
ADVANCE NOTICE AND CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
We warmly extend an invitation to colleagues to participate in VRI'98,
an international workshop on Visual Representations & Interpretations
being held at the Foresight Centre, University of Liverpool from
Tuesday September 22nd to Thursday September 24th.
The main aim of the workshop is to promote inter-disciplinary
awareness across a range of disciplines where visual representations
and interpretations are exploited.
Contributions were invited from researchers in any discipline who are
actively investigating visual representations and interpretations,
including though not limited to:- artists, architects, biologists,
chemists, clinicians, cognitive scientists, computer scientists,
educationalists, graphic designers, linguists, mathematicians,
philosophers, physicists, psychologists and social scientists.
We are pleased to report that all these disciplines are represented in
the papers chosen for presentation at the workshop. We have also had
interesting submissions which have been accepted from researchers in
Film and Media studies, Philosophy of Science, Molecular and Cellular
Science, Theatre Studies, Art and Textile design, Engineering and
other design disciplines. This excellent response means that the
conference will be a truly multi-disciplinary event.
DURATION OF WORKSHOP
The considerable interest that has been expressed in the workshop has
also led us to extend its duration. The workshop will now run from
Tuesday 22nd September until lunch-time on Thursday 24th September. In
order to give a potential participant some idea of the programme,
session titles include:- Just Visualising; Visualising the Information
Retrieval Process; Visualisation for Effective Communication;
Technology, Change and Visualisation; The Language of Symbols; Visual
Representations: from Molecules to Cells; Articulating the Design
Process; Visualising the Abstract; Language and Form across Domains.
