<b>Call for Artworks, Performances, and Artist's Presentations</b><br>
<br>
You are invited to participate in the sixth annual Symposium on Computational<br>
Aesthetics that will take place in London England on 14-16 June 2010. CAe is<br>
co-located with Computer Graphics International and co-sponsored by the<br>
Computer Arts Society.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.computational-aesthetics.org/2010/" target="_blank">http://www.computational-aesthetics.org/2010/</a><br>
<br>
Computational Aesthetics bridges the analytic and synthetic by integrating<br>
aspects of computer science, philosophy, psychology, and the fine, applied &<br>
performing arts. It seeks to facilitate both the analysis and the augmentation<br>
of creative behaviour. CAe also investigates the creation of tools that can<br>
enhance the expressive power of the fine and applied arts and furthers our<br>
understanding of aesthetic evaluation, perception and meaning.<br>
Invited artists will be involved in the technical, artistic, and theoretical<br>
aspects of this young field. The invited artworks aim to help participants<br>
better understand what aesthetics is, what computer technology is currently<br>
capable of delivering, and what is involved in the creative process.<br>
<br>
Artistic submissions are invited across the broad range of mediums covered by<br>
Computational Aesthetics. Specific examples include, but are not limited to:<br>
<br>
• artworks that employ real-time visual processing;<br>
• artworks that employ computer graphics on the web;<br>
• 2D or 3D artworks that run on stand-alone consoles;<br>
• virtual worlds created for the web;<br>
• game art pieces that run on stand-alone consoles or the web;<br>
• performances that include live computer graphics and/or live real-<br>
time visuals; and<br>
• artist presentations, posters or screenings that explore topics<br>
related to computer graphics, modeling, and/or real-time visuals<br>
<br>
A call for papers was also issued.<br>
<br>
NOTE:<br>
Artists should submit either a paper or artwork, but not both, as the intention<br>
is to give as much coverage of the arts as possible within the limited space of<br>
the venue.<br>
<br>
Artwork Submission:<br>
Submitted artworks should be original works created in the past three years.<br>
Artworks should be stand-alone and must be self-contained and run on a<br>
computer console. Web-based work is encouraged and the venue has a wifi<br>
connection. Proposals from performing artists should be submitted as a video<br>
or DVD recording only as there is no performance area/stage available for live<br>
work at the venue. All artists should provide their own computer hardware and<br>
ancillary equipment. Submissions will be reviewed by the Arts Program<br>
international committee (the names of whom will be posted on the website)<br>
and accepted works will be included in a catalogue section of the conference<br>
proceedings which will be published by Eurographics and also appear in the<br>
Eurographics and ACM Digital Libraries.<br>
<br>
Please send proposals including: Descriptive overview (proposed catalogue<br>
entry) half page A4; images; sound samples; video; time-based works;<br>
technical specification; artist’s resume/biography and artist’s statement; a<br>
detailed listing of your technical needs, including the equipment you will<br>
provide and your space requirements; a link to a website which shows<br>
examples of the work you will be presenting. Please submit to the online portal<br>
below by the deadline of February 12, 2010.<br>
<br>
Please note: Computational Aesthetics has some funding for artist bursaries to<br>
cover the conference entrance fee, but regrets no funding is available for<br>
travel, shipping or artist fees. Artists are expecting to apply for funding from<br>
their local institutions or granting agencies. Invited artists will be sent an<br>
official letter of acceptance. Submissions should comprise of a pdf file as the<br>
descriptive overview (proposed catalogue entry) and be accompanied by a<br>
single zip archive containing all other files (maximum size 5mb).<br>
