TransFormations is a year-long series of events formed around four specific topics, each at the crossroads of four larger umbrella themes: art, technology, cognition and perception. From big-budget Hollywood to a 19th-century panorama, TransFormations 2: The Perception of Perception will feature a series of speakers, panels, workshops and exhibits tracing three interwoven strands through the fields of cognition, perspective and stereoscopy--no one attending these events will see the world the same way again.

In today's data-saturated and digitally mediated world, questions of how we perceive and know the world around us have taken on a new urgency. Our ideas and experience are formed by our perception of the world. How have these perceptions been shaped through past and newly-emerging media technologies? This event will explore a variety of these media and their impact on the domains of art, philosophy, cognitive science and neuroscience in a kaleidoscopic festival event with multiple perspectives, multiple sites and multiple levels of access.
