Hey guys,

Regarding the below announcement about the Stelarc symposium - I figured I
should let you know (or more likely, remind you) that Stelarc is one of
many fabulous folk presenting at ISEA2013 in Sydney, 7-16 June 2013.

We just released the second program announcement and *early bird tickets
end this Friday 19th*.

Hope we can see you all there, but if not please keep in touch online -
we're planning a very active remote connection through social media.
