> Goals: to propose strategies of magic and illusion, in order to  
> harness some of the old and new technological resources to  
> collectively build software pieces and interactive installations  
> which can propose a rethinking of the usual scenario in magic  
> tricks; to broaden the topic through the exploration of the meanings  
> of the magic concept within the local context of Peru; to propose  
> magic and illusion as an approach for experiments on perception and  
> attention, behaviour and social relationships; and to propose a  
> critical viewpoint on the seduction of technology and its  
> application on the spectacle as a tool of persuasion and control.
>
> The proposals will be carried out in multidisciplinary work groups  
> comprised by the author(s) and interested collaborators, with  
> conceptual and technical advice from the teaching staff.

> Open call for collaborators: September 15, 2008.
