You are invited to participate in the fourth annual symposium on
Computational Aesthetics that will take place at the Hotel Riviera in
Lisbon, Portugal from 18-20 June 2008.

Computational Aesthetics bridges the analytic and synthetic and  
integrates
aspects of computer science, philosophy, psychology, and the fine &
performing arts.  In particular it focuses on the mathematical and
information theoretic aspects of both connectionist and symbol  
processing
methods by humans and computers.

Computational Aesthetics seeks to facilitate both the analysis and the
augmentation of creative behaviour.  It investigates the creation of  
tools
that can enhance the expressive power of the fine and applied arts and
furthers our understanding of aesthetic evaluation, perception and
meaning.  Invited talks will be given by individuals involved in the
technical, artistic and theoretical aspects of this young field to help
participants to better understand what aesthetics is, what computer
technology is currently capable of delivering, and to appreciate what is
involved in the creative process.
