It is a rich, fascinating subject\u00a0of scientific investigation, artistic exploration and diverse application,\u00a0with increasingly important implications for the ways in which people\u00a0interact and technologies are developed. Designing technologies and\u00a0imagining practices to modify, prolong and reconfigure the possibilities of\u00a0being present has been a continuous endeavor of the human species, from\u00a0early attempts at constructing communication and transportation devices, to\u00a0the many current technologies we continue to develop to reach other places\u00a0and people. Originally focused on bringing \u201cpresence\u201d from the real world to\u00a0a simulated one, the phenomenon is today analyzed and investigated in the\u00a0context of diverse environments and involves questioning simple distinctions\u00a0between \u201c\u2018real\u201d and \u201cartificial\u201d. This opening to a wide range of mediated\u00a0environments is accompanied by a growing involvement of different research\u00a0fields that are continuously updating and modifying the contours of presence\u00a0scholarship. The phenomenon of presence is challenging from a scientific\u00a0point of view as much as it is viable in everyday life, where people\u00a0participate in simultaneous mediated experiences, feeling present or\u00a0co-present in digital locations without any need for explicit instructions\u00a0and orchestrating technical and cognitive resources to control and enhance\u00a0presence. What it means to be present in mediated environments is then an\u00a0extremely relevant and enticing question, bearing all sorts of implications\u00a0for the design and application of diverse technologies.<\/p>\n<p>More at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.presence2008.org\">www.presence2008.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PRESENCE 2008 11th Annual International Workshop on Presence,\u00a0Padova, Italy,\u00a0October 16-18, 2008 Second Call for Papers Submission deadline (extended): May 23, 2008 Academics and practitioners with an interest in the concept of\u00a0(tele)presence are invited to submit their work\u00a0for presentation at the 11th Annual International Workshop on Presence, to\u00a0be held in Padova, Italy, on\u00a0October 16-18, 2008.
