CAMLab Conference
Medium of the Mind
March 8-9, 2024
Lower Level Auditorium, 485 Broadway
Harvard University
Harvard FAS CAMLab will be hosting this year’s Medium of the Mind Conference.
Mark your calendar and join us for two days of intellectual exchange!
Is the mind accessible? Is there a medium that affords access to the mind? How did thinkers and artists, pressurized by scientific knowledge and modern technology, imagine new ways to visualize, channel, control, and simulate invisible forces and connectivities? The conference “Medium of the Mind” addresses these questions by focusing on the negotiation between mind and medium in modern East Asia and beyond. Gathering scholars from different fields, this conference seeks to propose new directions in the study of art, film and media, philosophy of religion, intellectual history and history of knowledge in the twentieth century.
This event is supported by the Yin-Cheng Network for Buddhist Studies.
