<font size=2>"Discovery" (Art, Science & Technology)
Conference in Portugal<br>
May 18 - 20, 2006<br><br>
<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">All moments, everywhere in the
planet, new scientific discoveries and new art projects happen, in a
fabulous rhythm.<br><br>
But, the spirit of discovery - both in the field of art and in science -
it is not something new, neither something placed in a specific region of
the planet.<br><br>
The spirit of discovery is a state directly related to diversity, to
knowledge and interaction between different people, different societies,
different cultures, different disciplines.<br><br>
The Spirit of Discovery - as the first event in the ambit of the Arts,
Sciences and Technology Foundation - Observatory, aims the promotion of a
moment for information and debate, giving a ampler, diversified and
profound approach to some of the most fascinating science discoveries and
art projects - questioning their nature and the human universe
implicated.<br><br>
The Spirit of Discovery Meeting, in Trancoso, between May 18 and 20, and
it is divided in four sectors:<br><br>
SECTOR 1. Conferences<br>
SECTOR 2. Installations<br>
SECTOR 3. Exhibitions<br>
SECTOR 4. Observatory<br><br>
<br>
The opening of the Meeting will have the virtual presence of René Berger
- one of the most fascinating philosophers of art all over the
world.<br><br>
SECTOR 1. Conferences<br><br>
