The Incident Symposium, part of the Belluard-Bollwerk International1995 is a new international event, taking place in 1995 in the mediaeval city of Fribourg, Switzer- land, in which major figures from the worlds of art and technology will sit clown for the first time with researchers into phenomena, covering areas such as UFO research, parapsychology, dreams and other subjects that concern exploration of human consciousness.

The aim of the symposium will be to study different approaches to consciousness as more and more people are becoming convinced that phenomena, such as UFO sightings or contacts, psychic activity, or other anomalous events have become real in their lives. Whether as hard fact, the product of the subconscious or simply a projection of imagery from mythology or science fiction; it is useful to look this subject through the eyes of the contemporary artist as well as the scientist in the act of visualising and mediating the nature and value of reality and experience. The symposium intends to bring together parallel debates from often differing fields, for example, the comparison of cyberspace, virtual reality and artificial life with studies of the nature of religious experience, shamanism, and dreaming.

All the events take place in the Belluard, a 15th century fortress in the center of Fribourg.
