Biological and algorithmic, protector of secrets and porthole to
mysteries, universal and singular, code is an invitation to thought.
Code can be “wet” (genetic, organic, human), “dry” (digital,
mathematical, logical), something in-between, neither, or both
(linguistic, symbolic, religious, moral, legal). Code is the meeting
ground of strange bedfellows, the cipherer and decipherer, the domain
of law and its subversion, communication and privacy. Code is about
patterns, sequences, systems, translations, substitutions. It can
bind, trick, and free. Modern technologies are affording us more and
more keys to unlock nature’s code and more opportunities to
manipulate it.
**We welcome paper and panel submissions that explore any type/aspect/
nature/culture of code in any period of history. Also welcome are
submissions on any aspect of science's relationship with literature
and the arts, including ones presented in nontraditional formats
(such as film/video, performance, music, or visual art).**

From the Organizer:
Artist presentations are most welcome, although they need to be part
of panel and the artist is asked to discuss his or her work for about
15mins. Each panel has 3-4 presenters, who each present for about
15mins, and then there are 15 mins for Q&A. So, we would need a
brief proposal (250 words) and a title from each person; or a
proposal for a panel (150 words) with title: http://www.slsa07.com/
callforpapers.html ; or a completed panel (150 word description) and
the names of the participants and the titles of the presentations.
We will have 3 rooms in the hotel dedicated to displaying the
artworks of participants on the panels. One room will have 2D and 3D
art, one will have digital art, and one will have sound art. Here's
the link describing these rooms and the submission requirements:

We will also have a book exhibit: http://www.slsa07.com/bookexhibit.html
