The concept of "home" seems hardly adequate in a time when everybody is on the run and the ultimate destination is cyberspace. We gather here at the second Doors of Perception Conference in order to discuss new concepts and ideas related to home. Is home where my heart is or where my computer is? While we keep our ideas in a laptop that seems to be home for some people, our ideas of home are very emotional and rooted in memories.


Home is ultimately where the memory is - a place to go back to; a anchor place that puts the conceptual system into perspective. Not by coincidence is the concept home used widely in complex computer systems. The Home Card in Hypercard as well as the home page in html are bases to set out from.


Australian artist Ruth Leunig is interested in the way our home interacts with us. Her series of drawings "There is no place like home" shows a home where the objects live a life of their own - constituting our home.
