"The transreal: artworks that cross boundaries of multiple realities with a nuance for a multiplicity of worlds, using reality as a medium."
- Micha Cárdenas, Interim Associate Director of Art and Technology for Sixth College, UCSD

Kim Stanley Robinson will be appearing in a panel discussion at the Culture, Art and Technology program of the Sixth College of UC San Diego, California, as part of the opening of the ARTifact art gallery exhibition "Many Worlds, Many Times" (April 6 to June 10, 2011). The exhibition is focusing on "a vision of a multiplicity of worlds and times, on many levels: the science fiction imaginary, phenomenological approaches to time and a world experienced through sound are just a few."

The ARTifact gallery exists as a physical gallery in the CAT core offices as well as an online exhibition space at the CAT website, cat.ucsd.edu.
