Panel 1 : Exploration of the Universe
The first conference panel will look into outer space. How do we accumulate knowledge of our universe? Radio telescopes scour the skies, satellites and man-made robots travel the spaceways and transmit data to Earth. How did this exploration evolve? What are we learning at the moment? And what is the future of human exploration of outer space?
Panel 2 : Dark Signals
In the panel Dark Signals the focus shifts towards the arts, and how they explore unknown behaviours of sound and electromagnetic signals.

Duncan Speakman: On Subtlemobs (Sonic Acts XIII, 2010)
This lecture was part of Sonic Acts XIII within the session The Poetics of Hybrid Space. In this session, a panel will explore the new conditions of experience emphasized by the concept of Hybrid Space through the prism of a series of artistic and interventionist projects drawing on the increased hybridity of the contemporary spaces of everyday life. The concept of Hybrid Space does away with misleading spatial dichotomies that have accompanied the rise of digital and networked media; real versus virtual; physical versus immaterial; flows versus places (Manuel Castells).
