DECONference is an annual inverse conference aimed at decontextualizing and decontaminating deconstructionism with a specific inquiry into the possible transition from postcyborgism to postpostcyborgism (deconism).
DECONference 2000 (DECON1) set forth the principles by way of initial patent filings as means for social commentary on the possible use of anthrax hysteria in controlling the population. DECONference 2001 (DECON2) opened with separate entrances for men and women, into an anthrax-ready mailroom design exhibited July 2001 at Gallery TPW in Toronto. DECONference 2002 (DECON3) brought together approximately a hundred artists, philosophers, and leading thinkers of our time, to be stripped, scrubbed, and protected by white Tyvek jumpsuits, on order to deconstruct the notion of cyborg-identity. DECONference 2003 (DECON4) will take place in Montreal, in September, in a portable "tent city" or similar emergency deployment carried on an large 18 wheeler. DECONference 2004 (DECON5) will be held on a flotilla, in international waters, for DECONationalism.
