[-empyre-] Towards [no] theory of digital poetics

[Paul Brown]

Given some of the recent discussion on this subject I thought  
participants may be interested to hear about the NATURAL AND  
BIOMIMETIC MECHANOSENSING CONFERENCE (see below).  Especially  
considering their definition of the meeting as ..."dedicated to the  
identification of common principles underlying the widespread use in  
Nature of arrays of mechano-sensory structures for the extraction of  
meaning from environmental signals under adverse conditions".  It  
seems to me that this might offer some possible foundation for a  
theory of digital poetics?

	NATURAL AND BIOMIMETIC MECHANOSENSING CONFERENCE
	------------------------------------------------

Organized by the IST-FET Integrated Project CILIA (cilia-bionics.org)
which is funded by the European Comission, the Conference ‘Natural and
Biomimetic Mechanosensing’ (NBM) will be held in Dresden, Germany,
October 26-28 2009.  The conference is dedicated to the identification
of common principles underlying the widespread use in Nature of arrays
of mechano-sensory structures for the extraction of meaning from
environmental signals under adverse conditions. A second focus will be
on engineered systems derived from those principles.

To subscribe to the Conference Newsletter and receive updates and
further occasional information, please write an email to:
