[spectre] cfp: Computational Aesthetics 2010

[Paul Brown]

Call for Artworks, Performances, and Artist's Presentations

You are invited to participate in the sixth annual Symposium on  
Computational
Aesthetics that will take place in London England on 14-16 June 2010.  
CAe is
co-located with Computer Graphics International and co-sponsored by the
Computer Arts Society.

http://www.computational-aesthetics.org/2010/

Computational Aesthetics bridges the analytic and synthetic by  
integrating
aspects of computer science, philosophy, psychology, and the fine,  
applied &
performing arts. It seeks to facilitate both the analysis and the  
augmentation
of creative behaviour. CAe also 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 artists will be involved in the technical, artistic, and  
theoretical
aspects of this young field. The invited artworks aim to help  
participants
better understand what aesthetics is, what computer technology is  
currently
capable of delivering, and what is involved in the creative process.

Artistic submissions are invited across the broad range of mediums  
covered by
Computational Aesthetics. Specific examples include, but are not  
limited to:

•	artworks that employ real-time visual processing;
•	artworks that employ computer graphics on the web;
•	2D or 3D artworks that run on stand-alone consoles;
•	virtual worlds created for the web;
•	game art pieces that run on stand-alone consoles or the web;
•	performances that include live computer graphics and/or live real-
time visuals; and
•	artist presentations, posters or screenings that explore topics
related to computer graphics, modeling, and/or real-time visuals

A call for papers was also issued.

NOTE:
Artists should submit either a paper or artwork, but not both, as the  
intention
is to give as much coverage of the arts as possible within the limited  
space of
the venue.

Artwork Submission:
Submitted artworks should be original works created in the past three  
years.
Artworks should be stand-alone and must be self-contained and run on a
computer console. Web-based work is encouraged and the venue has a wifi
connection. Proposals from performing artists should be submitted as a  
video
or DVD recording only as there is no performance area/stage available  
for live
work at the venue. All artists should provide their own computer  
hardware and
ancillary equipment. Submissions will be reviewed by the Arts Program
international committee (the names of whom will be posted on the  
website)
and accepted works will be included in a catalogue section of the  
conference
proceedings which will be published by Eurographics and also appear in  
the
Eurographics and ACM Digital Libraries.

Please send proposals including: Descriptive overview (proposed  
catalogue
entry) half page A4; images; sound samples; video; time-based works;
technical specification; artist’s resume/biography and artist’s  
statement; a
detailed listing of your technical needs, including the equipment you  
will
provide and your space requirements; a link to a website which shows
examples of the work you will be presenting. Please submit to the  
online portal
below by the deadline of February 12, 2010.

Please note: Computational Aesthetics has some funding for artist  
bursaries to
cover the conference entrance fee, but regrets no funding is available  
for
travel, shipping or artist fees. Artists are expecting to apply for  
funding from
their local institutions or granting agencies. Invited artists will be  
sent an
official letter of acceptance. Submissions should comprise of a pdf  
file as the
descriptive overview (proposed catalogue entry) and be accompanied by a
single zip archive containing all other files (maximum size 5mb).
