"Image Naivete"

Tired of being so naive? Perhaps reveling in your naivete?
Either way, this upcoming conference looks extremely interesting:

GAZING INTO THE 21st CENTURY : CONFRONTING IMAGE NAIVETÉ
Second international conference on Image Science in Goettweig

Topics include -

NEW IMAGE FORMS AND TECHNIQUES (New visualization techniques in Nano-, Bio-, Neurosciences, Architecture, Photography, Digital Collections Management, etc.) NEW STRATEGIES IN VISUAL ARGUMENTATION (in the Arts, Sciences and Humanities, Politics, Advertising, Comics, Diagrams & Models, Visual Music, etc.) NEW PRACTICES OF IMAGE TRANSFER (Global economy, Tagging, Micromovies, Flickr, Second Life, You Tube, Google Earth etc.)

Deadline for proposals: October 21st ---- Thanks to Anne for this 411. Incidentally - what do you get when you type "Naive" into Google Image? Here is one thing: This may confirm either - 1) context is indeed everything, or 2) there is no such things as a visual non sequitur. Daschunds are so funny that they are *always* relevant.
