Description: CAPTCHA are automated processes operating as access doors to forms, allowing humans to proceed and blocking the way for robots. A modality of visual CAPTCHA offers a number of images that must be correctly selected, following simple instructions.
This conceptual art piece suggests the creation of CAPTCHA about the concept of art. It offers several design versions along with questions and issues that these CAPTCHA models may arouse.

The Science of Consciousness April 18-22, 2022 - Hybrid Format
Remote Online and/or Live In-Person - Loews Ventana Canyon Resort-Tucson
The Science of Consciousness ('TSC') is an interdisciplinary conference emphasizing rigorous approaches to the study of consciousness and its place in the universe. Topical areas include neuroscience, philosophy, psychology, cognitive science, biology, quantum physics and quantum brain biology, cosmology, meditation, altered states, artificial intelligence/machine consciousness, the nature of reality, culture and experiential phenomenology. Held annually since 1994, the TSC conference is hosted by the Center for Consciousness Studies at the University of Arizona, and alternates yearly between Tucson, Arizona and various locations in Italy, Denmark, Japan, Sweden, Czech Republic, Hungary, Hong Kong, India, Finland, San Diego and Switzerland. The 27th annual TSC will be held April 18-22, 2022. Because of pandemic uncertainty, TSC 2022 is being planned as a hybrid event, with both 1) remote online live-streaming, and 2) live in-person participation. Live participation and broadcast will take place at the Loews Ventana Canyon Resort, a beautiful eco-lodge in the hills above Tucson, Arizona. An early room rate is available for on-site registrants ($140) and the resort fee is waived. Tucson TSC conferences consist of keynote, plenary and concurrent talks, posters, exhibits, workshops, art-tech, wellness and social events. For April 2022, the mix of live and remote presentations and audience will depend on the pandemic conditions. We hope for a robust in-person audience and will update and finalize conditions and participation mode in early 2022. Looking forward to your participation.
