Eugene, Oregon will once again play host to an experience in sharing and collaboration, celebrating the connections between creative solutions in art, science and community. This experience is scheduled for 5pm, Friday, January 20, at the University of Oregon's EMU Ballroom.

This year will acknowledge the space between analog and digital ecologies. From the organic to the cybernetic, from the earth to the internet, transdisciplinary dialogue finds a new home. Building on last year's theme of Free Culture, Metamedia Cooperation II will encourage organic and open source solutions.

This integral experience with cutting-edge academics from the fields of music, physics, physiology, psychology and technology will feature, Open Space for communities at the forefront of eco-design and place making. Art installations will be curated by the Fenario Gallery featuring the visionary works of Brooks Cole, Kris D, Dhira Lawrence, Mark Henson, David Heskin, Nemo, Roman Villagrana and others. Multimedia video presentations will focus on Creative Commons, Pod Collective and holography. Atmospheric sounds will be mixed and remixed by Highdropod, G.A.S.P, The Theurgic Seed Cooperative and others, along with visuals by Dreamer John. Composer & Imaginify creative director, Jair, will serve as a guide through this in-person and teleconferenced environment continuing the evolution of this new "Meta-Cooperation" space.
