<p class="x_x_MsoPlainText">This agenda-setting Symposium will provide an opportunity for in depth reflection upon and assessment of the impact of artificial intelligence on the making of computational art and media, as well as to reflect more broadly on the
conditions of existence, range, and futures of computationally based art and media. In addition to the academic keynotes, panels and discussion forums, the conference will include the presentation of artistic projects, a major concurrent exhibition on Asian
Digital Art, and a student-led Workshop.</p>
