History: The MutaMorphosis conference is a sequel to the Conference on a New Space for Culture and Society (New Ideas in Science and Art) which took place in Prague from 19th - 23rd of November 1996 under the auspices of Vaclav Havel. The event initiated by Don Foresta was organised by the Council of Europe for specialists in the fields of art, science, philosophy and sociology. The objective of the meeting was to discuss some of the major directions in art and science with practitioners in various fields, particularly those concerned with the fundamental transformations taking place in certain areas of knowledge and the effect of those changes on contemporary culture and society.
