FCJ-080 On Transmission: A Metamethodological Analysis (after Régis Debray)
Steven Maras Media and Communications, University of Sydney Enmeshed in technical, logistical and even militaristic concepts, transmission is frequently regarded as an inadequate way to think about communication: merely informational (for the one-way imparting of messages or signals only), or anti-social.

FCJ-078 Plastic Super Models: aesthetics, architecture and the model of emergence
Pia Ednie-Brown RMIT University, Melbourne SuperModels What does physical eroticism signify if not violation of the very being of its practitioners? …The whole business of eroticism is to destroy the self-contained character of the participators as they are in their normal lives.

Kenneth J. Knoespe and Jichen Zhu Georgia Institute of Technology Introduction The legacy of Cartesian dualism inherent in linguistic theory deeply influences current views on the relation between natural language, computer code, and the physical world.

FCJ-072 Experience and abstraction: the arts and the logic of machines
Simon Penny University of California Irvine Introduction Much of my writing has grappled with issues which I find fundamental to the formation of art-practices which exploit the capabilities of emerging technologies (often but not always, involving real time digital computation) (Penny, 1995; 1997).[1] These theoretical inquiries arise out of pragmatic attempts to apply these technologies…
