Welcome
Welcome to the website for Space Metaphor Consciousness, the first annual hypothetical conference on everything. If this is your first exposure to the conference then an introduction is in order. The First Hypothetical Conference on Everything is an ongoing discourse emerging from a wide variety of anonymous contributors and multiple personalities. Out of this cacophany of panspecific voices we, the organisers of this meander, have drawn representative straws to cast into the wind. Ideas emerge and confuse, and in this mutual raucous fusing we have tried to hear the chords of a relatively coherent melody. This is expressed in the form of the abstracts, sylph-like shards of conceptualisation that point in the direction of knowledge the like of which we can only guess at, like a finger pointing at the moon. This limited and barely (but signiticantly) coherent set of abstracts has been selected to both determine and represent the theme of this, the first conference of its kind.
We are grateful to the kind support of the Department of Contemporary Arts at MMU Cheshire for hosting this year's conference, and to Concurrent for organisation, logistics, and providing the invaluable academic context which has allowed this event to exist.
