xCoAx 2015: 3rd International Conference on Computation,
Communication, Aesthetics and X (June 2015, Glasgow)
Dates: 25-26 June 2015
Location: Glasgow, UK
Website:
http://xcoax.org/
Deadline for submissions: 18 January 2015
Computational tools and media, from traditional computers and software
to the latest wearable artifacts, sensors, haptic interfaces and more,
have dramatically transformed the landscape of arts, design, and
several other cultural forms.
xCoAx is an exploration of this environment in the form of a
multi-disciplinary enquiry on aesthetics, computation, communication
and the elusive x factor that connects them all.
xCoAx is meant as a hub for the exchange of ideas and the discovery of
interdisciplinary and international synergies, with the participation
of a diverse confluence of computer scientists, media practitioners
and theoreticians working on the frontiers of digital arts and
culture.
Our focus has always been on critical and stimulating intersections:
between the computable and the uncomputable, the communicable and the
incommunicable, the chaos of creativity and the rules of algorithms,
the human and the machine, in a constant search for new directions in
aesthetics.
The trail-blazing first edition of xCoAx took place in Bergamo, Italy
in 2013 and was followed by an even richer 2014 edition in Porto,
Portugal. They say “third time’s the charm”, and with such a past we
could not be more excited for what’s to come.
