CREATIVE EVOLUTION

A 2-day conference at Goldsmiths College, University of London
Sat/Sun 12-13 February 2005
Registration: £20

How do we come to be what we are? Through the quintessentially religious
event of creation? Or through natural-scientific processes of evolution?
Is there a coming to gether of nature and culture, mind and brain in the
context of ‘creative evolution’? Does mind evolve from brain, or do nature
and culture stand in a co-evolutionary relationship to one another? How
does creativity (in culture, art and the sciences) itself evolve?

Arts Council England and Goldsmiths College, University of London invite
you to attend a two day colloquium, bringing biologists, psychologists and
information scientists together with artists, architects and philosophers
to address these themes.

Please contact Theresa Mikuria, the Conference Administrator, at
