Music, Sound, Art and Design<br><br>April 2014, GRANADA, Spain<br>Part of evo* 2014<br>evo*: <a href="http://www.evostar.org" target="_blank">http://www.evostar.org</a><br><br>----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
New this year: Special track on Artificial Neural Networks applied to<br>Music, Sound, Art and Design<br>----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>Following the success of previous events and the importance of the<br>
field of evolutionary and biologically inspired (artificial neural<br>network, swarm, alife) music, sound, art and<br>design, evomusart has become an evo* conference with independent<br>proceedings since 2012. Thus, evomusart 2014 is the twelfth European<br>
Event and the third International Conference on Evolutionary and<br>Biologically Inspired Music, Sound, Art and Design.<br><br>The use of biologically inspired techniques for the development of<br>artistic systems is a recent, exciting and significant area of<br>
research. There is a growing interest in the application of these<br>techniques in fields such as: visual art and music generation,<br>analysis, and interpretation; sound synthesis; architecture; video;<br>poetry; design; and other creative tasks.<br>
<br>The main goal of evomusart 2014 is to bring together researchers who<br>are using biologically inspired computer techniques for artistic<br>tasks, providing the opportunity to promote, present and discuss<br>ongoing work in the area.<br>
<br>The event will be held in April, 2014 in Granada, Andalusia, Spain, as<br>part of the evo* event.<br><br>----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>Publication Details<br>----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>Submissions will be rigorously reviewed for scientific and artistic<br>merit. Accepted papers will be presented orally or as posters at the<br>event and included in the evomusart proceedings, published by Springer<br>
Verlag in a dedicated volume of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science<br>series. The acceptance rate at evomusart 2013 was 30.5% for papers<br>accepted for oral presentation, or 44.4% for oral and poster<br>presentation combined. The evomusart 2013 submissions received on<br>
average 3.4 reviews each.<br><br>New this year: submitters are strongly encouraged to provide in all<br>papers a link for download of media demonstrating their results,<br>whether music, images, video, or other media types. Links should be<br>
anonymised for double-blind review, e.g. using a URL shortening<br>service.<br><br>----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>Topics of interest<br>----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>Submissions should concern the use of biologically inspired computer<br>techniques -- e.g. Evolutionary Computation, Artificial Life,<br>Artificial Neural Networks, Swarm Intelligence, other artificial<br>intelligence techniques -- in the generation, analysis and<br>
interpretation of art, music, design, architecture and other artistic<br>fields. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:<br><br>-- Generation<br>- Biologically Inspired Design and Art -- Systems that create<br>
drawings, images, animations, sculptures, poetry, text, designs,<br>webpages, buildings, etc.;<br>- Biologically Inspired Sound and Music -- Systems that create<br>musical pieces, sounds, instruments, voices, sound effects, sound<br>
analysis, etc.;<br>- Robotic-Based Evolutionary Art and Music;<br>- Other related artificial intelligence or generative techniques in<br>the fields of Computer Music, Computer Art, etc.;<br><br>-- Theory<br>- Computational Aesthetics, Experimental Aesthetics; Emotional<br>
Response, Surprise, Novelty;<br>- Representation techniques;<br>- Surveys of the current state-of-the-art in the area; identification<br>of weaknesses and strengths; comparative analysis and classification;<br>- Validation methodologies;<br>
- Studies on the applicability of these techniques to related areas;<br>- New models designed to promote the creative potential of<br>biologically inspired computation;<br><br>-- Computer Aided Creativity and computational creativity<br>
- Systems in which biologically inspired computation is used to<br>promote the creativity of a human user;<br>- New ways of integrating the user in the evolutionary cycle;<br>- Analysis and evaluation of: the artistic potential of biologically<br>
inspired art and music; the artistic processes inherent to these<br>approaches; the resulting artefacts;<br>- Collaborative distributed artificial art environments;<br><br>-- Automation<br>- Techniques for automatic fitness assignment;<br>
- Systems in which an analysis or interpretation of the artworks is<br>used in conjunction with biologically inspired techniques to produce<br>novel objects;<br>- Systems that resort to biologically inspired computation to perform<br>
the analysis of image, music, sound, sculpture, or some other types of<br>artistic object.<br><br>----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>Important Dates (to be confirmed)<br>----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
