Dear colleagues,
In the week of November 23 - 26, 2010, two exciting conferences under the
general umbrella of arts and sciences will take place at the Royal Flemish
Academy of Belgium for Science and the Arts (KVAB, Palace of the Academies,
Brussels).
The first (Nov 23-24) is an initiative of Johan Wagemans and will be on
Visual perception and visual arts, with contributions from experimental
psycho-aesthetics, experimental psychology, vision sciences, and visual
arts. Confirmed speakers include: Dorothee Augustin, Claus-Christian Carbon,
James Cutting, Peter De Graef, Sharon Gershoni, Alan Gilchrist, Alumit
Ishai, Michael Kubovy, Paul Locher, Ruth Loos, Pascal Mamassian, Slobodan
Markovic, Chris McManus, Wendy Morris, Baingio Pinna, etc.
More information on this conference can be found on
www.gestaltrevision.be/visualperceptionandvisualarts.
In addition to our invited speakers, we would also like to invite abstracts
for posters and talks relevant to the theme of this conference. Talks will
be allocated between 15 and 30 minute presentations. If you would like to
submit an abstract please email [log in to unmask] before
September 17.
Attendance will be limited to max. 75 places each day. Lectures are free but
we will ask for a minimal registration (~20 euros per day) to cover basic
coffee, tea and lunch costs. To request a place email

the two days are also welcome.
The second (Nov 25-26) is an initiative of Marc De Mey to celebrate 10
years of Flemish Academic Centre (VLAC) and will be on Vision and material:
Interaction between art and science in Jan Van Eyck's time. The focus will
be on art history but there will also be a session with a more
vision-oriented focus (with contributions from Michael Kubovy, Alan
Gilchrist, Jan Koenderink, and Ingrid Daubechies).
More information on this conference can be found on www.kvab.be/vlac.aspx.
Submission of contributions is no longer possible but registration is still
