[PD] CFP: Practice-Based Research in New Interfaces for Musical Expression
= Call for Papers Workshop on Practice-Based Research in New Interfaces for Musical Expression NIME 2014 Workshop: Goldsmiths, London, UK www.nime2014.org Workshop website: http://www.creativityandcognition.com/NIMEWorkshop/ Submission Deadline: May 12, 2014 (No extensions!) Notification: May 16, 2014 Workshop date: June 30, 2014 = Practitioner-researchers in new musical instrument/interface design often set themselves multiple challenges: they seek to design and implement new technologies, create and perform new works, examine and evaluate what they have done and, finally, articulate what has been learned in the process. To do this effectively requires careful consideration of the links between creative work and research. Failing to do so can lead to technical research which lacks relevance to creative practice or, conversely, creative work where the broader contribution is unclear. This workshop focuses on the relationships between creative practice and research - and blends of the two - with particular emphasis on new musical interface/instrument design. Combining practice and research leads to a series of difficult questions, including: - What constitutes a contribution in the context of practice-based research in new musical instrument/interface design? - How do we show that we have made a contribution? What kinds of evidence are appropriate? - Do we always need to evaluate our interfaces/instruments? What does evaluation mean in creative contexts? Are there fixed criteria? - What is the status of the work (performance, instrument, composition, exhibition, ...) itself? Is it possible to understand the contribution of practice-based research without experiencing the work? What is the role of documentation? - What is the place of personal reflection in relation to practice-based research? PARTICIPATION We invite 2-4 page papers or position papers for presentation and in-depth discussion. Submissions from students are welcome and encouraged. Topics may include, but are not limited to: - Case studies of practice-based research in the area of NIME. - Theoretical and conceptual framings of practice-based research in NIME contexts. - Personal reflections on past or ongoing practice-based research projects. - Techniques and methods for examining people’s experiences with new instruments/interfaces. - Approaches and methods from other domains and cultures. - Radical ideas, new approaches. Papers will be peer-reviewed and accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings and archived on the workshop website. After the workshop, selected participants will be invited to expand their papers for a special issue of Leonardo Transactions. Once selected, all workshop participants are required to register for at least one day of the NIME conference.

[PD] CFP: ACM Creativity and Cognition, 2nd Call Graduate Student Symposium
conference the Creativity and Cognition conference series establishes a forum where people can 'rub minds' with and hear about the work of others from a variety of domains and perspectives as they report and describe their engagement with that most complex of intersections–creativity and cognition. To this end, Creativity and Cognition 2013 seeks papers, posters and demonstrations from individuals and teams of people working in any of a variety of domains who seek to improve our understanding of this multifaceted domain that engages the interest and attention of people from so many different fields. All submissions are to be anonymised and presented in SIGCHI format, for which templates can be found on the Submission page of the conference website (http://cc13.creativityandcognition.com). Papers are to be a maximum of 10 pages, while poster submissions are to be a maximum of 4 pages in length. Papers and posters are to be submitted by 17 Dec 2012 through the paper submission system linked to above. Demonstrations are also invited, with a maximum of 2 pages in length, will be due on the 1st of March 2013. *** Call for GRADUATE STUDENT SYMPOSIUM SUBMISSIONS Important Dates for GRADUATE STUDENT SYMPOSIUM SUBMISSIONS Submissions due: 1st March, 2013 Notifications: 1st April, 2013 Graduate Student Symposium: 17th June 2013 The Graduate Student Symposium is a forum in which postgraduate students meet and discuss their work with each other and a panel of experienced researchers and practitioners. The Symposium itself will be held on the 17th of June, with a table for the participants to be reserved during the conference dinner. We welcome applications in any of the disciplines and approaches concerned with Creativity and Cognition (see the Call for Papers for further details on topics). Applicants should be Ph.D. students with an already well-established direction of research relevant to Creativity and Cognition, but whose research would benefit from guidance provided by peers and senior colleagues at the Graduate Student Symposium. Each application should provide: * A short written paper (no more than TWO pages in SIGCHI format) * A brief letter of support from the student's principal adviser * A brief 2-3 paragraph biographical sketch on a separate page together with a list of any relevant publications The paper should describe ongoing work and summarize the student's thesis, or highlight a particular aspect - therefore it should be first-authored by the student. Advisors' or supervisors' letters of support should indicate that the work has reached the appropriate level of maturity for presentation in this venue. The letter of support and biographical sketch should be submitted together with the paper on the conference submission site. Please note that Graduate Student Symposium submission, unlike paper submission, is not anonymous. For templates, please see the conference website under Submission. Participants will be selected based on their anticipated contributions to the breadth and depth of the intellectual discussions of the symposium. Selected students will be expected to give a short presentation of their work, followed by discussion with the panel and the other student participants. *** Deadlines Approaching *** 17th December 2012 for Papers and Posters 1st March 2013 for Demos and Graduate Student Symposium *** Organising Committee *** Conference Co-Chairs: Yukari Nagai, Sam Ferguson Program Chair: Tom Hewett Program Committee Co-chairs: Steven Dow, Ellen Yi-Luen Do, Jack Ox , Steve Smith Treasurer: Andrew Johnston Poster and Demos Co-Chairs: Kazushi Nishimoto, Chek Tien Tan Art Program Chair: Ian Gwilt Curatorial Advisor: Deborah Turnbull Music Program Chair: Kirsty Beilharz Workshops Chair: David A.

[PD] CFP: ACM Creativity and Cognition 2013
* ACM Creativity and Cognition 2013 Sydney, Australia 17th-20th June, 2013 http://cc13.creativityandcognition.com * The University of Technology, Sydney will host the International Conference on Creativity and Cognition from the 17th to the 20th of June 2013. The organising committee would like to invite you to join us in Sydney for another conference in this very successful series. For 2013 the conference theme will be `Intersections and Interactions', due to the inter-disciplinarity that is inherent in the study of creativity and cognition. June 2013 will be an exciting time for Sydney, as the International Symposium on Electronic Art (ISEA 2013) will run from the 7th to 16th, as well as the Vivid Festival of Arts from the 24th of May until the 10th of June. *** IMPORTANT DATES 17th December 2012 – PAPER AND POSTER SUBMISSION DEADLINE Jan 12th - WORKSHOP PROPOSAL SUBMISSION DEADLINE 1st March 2013 – CREATIVITY DEMONSTRATIONS SUBMISSION DEADLINE *** Call for PAPERS, POSTERS and DEMONSTRATIONS *** Creativity is sometimes thought of as being a human cognitive capacity to solve problems. Creativity is sometimes thought of as a process that occurs in the intersections between individuals, domains and fields. Creativity is sometimes viewed as a characteristic of an artifact, such as an artwork, or of a concept, such as a new scientific theory, that is both novel and valuable. The Creativity and Cognition Conference Series aims to be a common meeting ground where individuals can interact with others from different domains and fields to explore and share a variety of information, observations, insights and ideas about the human capacity to creatively solve problems and produce novel and valuable artifacts in their context and culture. As a single track conference the Creativity and Cognition conference series establishes a forum where people can “rub minds” with and hear about the work of others from a variety of domains and perspectives as they report and describe their engagement with that most complex of intersections–creativity and cognition. To this end, Creativity and Cognition 2013 seeks papers, posters and demonstrations from individuals and teams of people working in any of a variety of domains who seek to improve our understanding of this multifaceted domain that engages the interest and attention of people from so many different fields. General topics may include, but are not limited to: The study of creativity in an individual, in a group or a team, or in a particular cultural context. • Discussions of ways to foster creativity though the design, development and/or deployment of pedagogy, of technology support tools for creative work, or of environments and systems of support for creativity. Of particular interest is work on creative technology support tools that involves collaborations between artists and technologists. • Research reports on empirical assessment of various aspects of creativity and cognition that seek to deal with evaluation metrics, measures, and constraints using methodological approaches such as case studies, experimentation, modeling, or simulation. • Explorations of new or only partially explored intersections in creativity such as personal creativity in everyday life, the role of emotion in creativity, brain event scanning and recording, and any novel design and evaluation ideas that may one day be valuable to the Creativity and Cognition community. • Also of particular interest are papers, posters and demonstrations that describe artworks/performance works, etc. and that explore and reflect on the nature of creativity, the act of creation, and/or artistic expression. All submissions are to be anonymised, and presented in ACM format and templates can be found on the Submission page of the conference website. Papers and posters are to be submitted by 17 Dec 2012 through the easychair paper submission system. Papers are to be a maximum of 10 pages, while poster submissions are to be a maximum of 4 pages in length. Demonstrations are also invited, with a maximum of 2 pages in length, and will be due on the 1st of March 2013. CALL FOR ARTWORKS, MUSIC, PERFORMANCES and INSTALLATIONS We are calling for proposals for artworks, music, performances and installations to be presented in conjunction with the conference.

[PD] PD on Gumstix - Duplex Audio Problems
Hi PDers- I have compiled PD (not PDa) for use on Gumstix overo, but I'm having a couple of problems getting full duplex audio. I can do either in or out ok (eg. -noadc), but asking for in and out gives: /dev/dsp invalid argument read/write and then switches to out only. I can do audio in/out on gumstix (using arecord | aplay) with no problem, so it seems something specific about pd. I compiled pd-0.42-5 on the actual gumstix board with gcc. Has anyone had this problem before - perhaps not with Gumstix? Cheers Sam ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
