  • TransFormations III: Fiction Science

    Sat, Mar 03, 2007

    USC Viterbi School of Engineering

    Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars


    TransFormations is a yearlong series of events formed around four specific topics, each at the crossroads of four larger umbrella themes: art, technology, cognition and perception. In Fiction Science, writers, artists, scientists, directors, special-effects artists and cognitive scientists will come together to map out the territories between fiction and science and reality and fantasy, asking whether fictional worlds, hoaxes, satire and alternate histories can sometimes seem to be more "true-to-life" than reality itself. It is possible to elucidate the physical logic of these worlds as a critical problem? The virtualization of science in cinema extends into the disciplines of physics, biology, epidemiology, artificial intelligence and simulation in ways that pose important questions.
