As noted in an earlier post, the Sydney College of the Arts (SCA) will host an international conference and exhibition on that campus on August 8 through August 11, 2013. Titled Camouflage Cultures: Surveillance, Communities, Aesthetics, Animals, it was initiated and organized by SCA faculty members Ann Elias and Nicholas Tsoutas. The slate of events is unusually diverse in the cross-disciplinary breadth of its presentations. See ad below. Details and a complete list of presentations are online here.
