Subtle Technologies] is not narrow
but wide open, very dialectical, provocative, and we had breathing room. It's
very important to me, these days, that I can be in a smaller scale event where
I get a chance to meet everyone, hear everyone talk, and get a feeling that everyone
came not just to speak but to be present, participate, and form a kind of community
of debate and thinking, over the span of the weekend. -- Johannes Birringer, 2001
presenter.
The chance to meet so many great artists and thinkers is too good to pass up.
It is rare to see such open stimulation among people from so many different backgrounds.
-- George Maglios, 2001 presenter.
The conference was un-commercial, informal, and grew out of a real need for
a nonacademic outlet for heartfelt values held by a remarkable segment: people
who know or use science or technology, and connect it to a need to understand
the world of feelings and meaning. -- Dr. Bill Marks, 2001 presenter.
I learned a lot, got valuable feedback on my work, and left feeling inspired
and just good about humanity in general. -- Liane Gabora, 2000 presenter.
People were accessible, conversations and contacts were carried over into the
break periods. This is the best way to create networks. Face to face. -- Kathleen
Rogers, 2001 presenter.
I thought the diversity and depth of the talks at Subtle Technologies were
outstanding and I will highly recommend the conference to my scientific colleagues.--
Scott Menary, 2000 presenter.
