xCoAx 2017: 5th International Conference on Computation, Communication,
Aesthetics and X. 6-7 July 2017, Lisbon, Portugal
Deadline for submissions extended to 12 February
Confirmed keynote speakers: Olia Lialina, Penousal Machado
Doctoral Symposium chairs: Frieder Nake and Philip Galanter
xCoAx is an exploration of the intersection where computational tools and media
meet art and culture, in the form of a multi-disciplinary enquiry on
aesthetics, computation, communication and the elusive X factor that connects
them all.
Since 2013, xCoAx has been an occasion for international audiences to meet and
exchange ideas, in search of interdisciplinary synergies among computer
scientists, artists, media practitioners and theoreticians at the threshold of
digital arts and culture.
The focus is on the unpredictable overlaps between the chaos and freedom of
creativity and the rules and determinism of algorithms, between human nature
and machine technology, with the aim to evolve towards new directions in
aesthetics.
In 2017 xCoAx will take place for the first time in Lisbon, in and around the
Faculty of Fine Arts, right in the heart of the city center in Chiado.
