Biological and algorithmic, protector of secrets and porthole to 
mysteries, universal and singular, code is an invitation to thought. 
Code can be "wet" (genetic, organic, human), "dry" (digital, 
mathematical, logical), something in-between, neither, or both 
(linguistic, symbolic, religious, moral, legal). Code is the meeting 
ground of strange bedfellows, the cipherer and decipherer, the domain of

law and its subversion, communication and privacy. Code is about 
patterns, sequences, systems, translations, substitutions. It can bind, 
trick, and free. Modern technologies are affording us more and more keys

to unlock nature's code and more opportunities to manipulate it.

**We welcome paper and panel submissions that explore any 
type/aspect/nature/culture of code in any period of history.  Also 
welcome are submissions on any aspect of science's relationship with 
literature and the arts, including ones presented in nontraditional 
formats (such as film/video, performance, music, or visual art).**
