Call for Participation
This workshop will bring together practitioners and researchers who are involved in the use of computational systems in the fine and performing arts, literature, design and animation as well as the associated fields of aesthetics, cognitive science, art history and cultural theory. It especially invites those involved in the computational analysis and modelling of creative behaviour to meet and share their experiences and explore the potential of co-operative future ventures. It is intended that this call should interest the widest possible constituency. However a very broad list of (non-exclusive) descriptors might include:
- the application of computational and generative methodologies in the arts and related creative disciplines
- computational approaches to creativity, cognition and aesthetics
- the application of artificial intelligence and artificial life
- the application of evolutionary and adaptive systems
- cultural applications of computing and digital electronics in general
The deadline for outlines and proposals is 19 March 2006. They should be sent to the conference chairs as PDF attachments to an email with the subject "CMCA Workshop Submission"
