Hi all,
The first xCoAx was really great, and the deadline for the next one is
coming around fast.
Note that there will be an algorave on the final day, and submissions
are welcome for that too.
Full call for papers, performances and installations below.
This site nicely alongside NIME, for those travelling from outside
Europe for that.
Cheers
alex
xCoAx 2014: 2nd International Conference on Computation,
Communication, Aesthetics and X (June 2014, Porto)
Dates: 26-27 June 2014
Location: Porto, Portugal
Website:
http://xcoax.org/
Deadline for submissions: 31 December 2013
The development of computational tools and media has been radically
transforming the landscape for the practice of the arts, of design and
of numerous cultural manifestations. Recognizing this, xCoAx is
designed as a multi-disciplinary enquiry on arts, computers,
computation, communication and the elusive x factor that connects them
all.
xCoAx is a forum for the exchange of ideas and the discovery of new
and valuable synergies. It is an event exploring the frontiers of
digital arts with the participation of a diverse confluence of
computer scientists, media practitioners and theoreticians, with a
focus on the relations between what can and cannot be computed, what
can and cannot be communicated, what is beautiful and how humans and
computational systems intersect in the development of new directions
in aesthetics.
The first edition of xCoAx took place in 2013 in Bergamo, Italy. The
37 works presented — selected from a total of 114 submissions from 28
countries — are compiled in the proceedings book, available at
http://2013.xcoax.org.
