Computational Models of Creativity in the Arts
Call for Participation
DEADLINE APPROACHING: 19 March 2006. Computational Models of Creativity in the Arts, a two-day workshop--Tuesday 16 to Wednesday 17 May 2006. A partnership between Goldsmiths and Birkbeck Colleges and the University of Sussex. Hosted by Goldsmiths Digital Studios, Ben Pimlott Building, Goldsmiths College, University of London. Including a public evening performance/exhibition event on the 16 May curated by BLIP and the Computer Arts Society at the Science Museum's Dana Centre in Knightsbridge. The proceedings will be a special issue of Digital Creativity Journal (2007:1), Routledge.
Call for Participation: This workshop will bring together practitioners and researchers who are involved in the use of computational systems in the fine and performing arts, literature, design and animation as well as the associated fields of aesthetics, cognitive science, art history and cultural theory. It especially invites those involved in the computational analysis and modelling of creative behaviour to meet and share their experiences and explore the potential of co-operative future ventures. It is intended that this call should interest the widest possible constituency. However a very broad list of (non-exclusive) descriptors might include:
* the application of computational and generative methodologies
in the arts and related creative disciplines
* computational approaches to creativity, cognition and
aesthetics
* the application of artificial intelligence and artificial life
* the application of evolutionary and adaptive systems
* cultural applications of computing and digital electronics in
general
Categories of Submission
* Position papers, posters, abstracts, etc...
Places are limited! Please send in a one-page (maximum) outline
of why you (and your colleagues) would like to attend and what
you could contribute and/or how you might benefit. Include URLs
to relevant projects/experience where possible
* Artworks, performances, etc...
Please submit a one-page proposal including technical
requirements. Include URLs where possible
Deadline: The deadline for outlines and proposals is 19 March 2006. They should be sent to the conference chairs as PDF attachments to an email with the subject "CMCA Workshop Submission."
