The Souillac Conferences, 1997-1998
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.
