In 1997, representatives of art and industry gathered in the French town of Souillac for a conference on the topic of “Art, Industry and Innovation.” The result from this meeting was “The Souillac Charter for Art and Industry: A Framework for Collaboration.” In 1998 a second conference built on the efforts of the first gathering, resulting in “Souillac II: A Conference on Art, Industry & Innovation: Final Report.” Both documents have been published separately in Leonardo On-Line and in Leonardo; the full, combined report is presented here in its entirety.

FRACTAL FLESH

Virtual Reality technology allows a transgression of boundaries between
male/female, human/machine, time/space. The self becomes situated beyond
the skin. This is not a disconnecting or a splitting, but an EXTRUDING OF
AWARENESS.  What it means to be human is no longer the state of being
immersed in genetic memory but rather in being reconfigured in the
electromagnetic field of the circuit -

IN THE REALM OF THE IMAGE.
