Prof. Dr. Herbert W. Franke, scientist and sience-fiction author, spoke at "see conference 2010". The conference on "visualization of information", organized by digital creative agency Scholz & Volkmer, is dedicated to new approaches that are being developed in the fields of design, art, architecture, new technologies and economy to confront today's complexity and to transform the immense flood of information into useable knowledge. We annually invite speakers - a broad mix of approaches, ways of thinking, industries and cultures – to present their most recent ideas on how to deal with the current flood of information, on how to visualize it and turn it into something that can be experienced.

Prof. Dr. Herbert W. Franke (born 1927) studied physics, mathematics, chemistry, psychology, and philosophy in Vienna. He is internationally considered to be a pioneer in the field of digital art and has made contributions to aesthetics with regard to perception and information theory. He has also addressed futurology and is one of the most distinguished German-language science fiction authors. He has written more than 40 reference and specialised books as well as award-winning utopian novels and short stories. H. W. Franke has held lectureships at the University and Academy of Arts in Munich and is co-founder of Ars Electronica in Linz on the Danube.
