In cooperation with the Planetary Collegium, University of Plymouth, England, TEKS – Trondheim Electronic Arts Centre, 
Trondheim, Norway, is hosting the 11th Consciousness Reframed International Research Conference, with the title of MAKING REALITY REALLY REAL. 
The conference will be part of Norway´s new biennial for art and technology, Meta.Morf, that takes place in Trondheim from October 7 to November 7, 2010.

The Consciousness Reframed conference series was founded by Roy Ascott at the University of Wales in 1997. Consciousness Reframed is a forum for 
trans-disciplinary inquiry into art, science, technology, design and consciousness, drawing upon the expertise and insights of artists, designers, architects, 
performers, musicians, writers, scientists, and scholars, usually from at least 20 countries.

Making Reality Really Real
The status of our reality is uncertain. We know that the material world experienced through our senses is a representation of quantum phenomena 
that can be observed at another level of resolution. But are sub-atomic particles in turn representations of something beyond, something that approaches 
the really Real? Virtual Reality and the Metaverse provide a vivid and consequential normality that may come to render the material world largely obsolete 
for those who live largely online or in cyberspace. Until recently, we adapted our sensibilities to fit into separate boxes, — real, virtual, spiritual, and so on — 
which we saw as serving separate ontologies. That separation has now merged into a continuous flow, in which telecommunications, computing, nano technology, 
and pharmacology play significant roles. How might the artist address these issues, and how might the arts explore them further?
