xCoAx 2022: 10th International Conference on Computation, Communication, Aesthetics and X Dates: 6-8 July 2022 Location: Coimbra, Portugal and online ——————————————————————— Website: http://xcoax.org/ ——————————————————————— Extended submission deadline: 15 February 2022 ——————————————————————— ——————————————————————— 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 and characterises them all. The focus of xCoAx is on the unpredictable overlaps between creative freedom and algorithmic rules, between human nature and machine technology, aimed towards new directions in aesthetics. xCoAx has been an occasion for international audiences to exchange ideas in search for interdisciplinary synergies between computer scientists, artists, media practitioners, and theoreticians at the thresholds between digital arts and culture. Starting in 2013 in Bergamo, xCoAx has so far taken place also in Porto, Glasgow, Lisbon, Madrid, Milan, and Graz. xCoAx 2022 will take place in Coimbra, Portugal. However, building on our experience of the CoViD-19 pandemic, part of the event will be made available online. We will closely monitor the evolving situation and more details will follow. ——————————————————————— xCoAx 2022’s keynote speakers are Winnie Soon and Andreas Broeckmann ——————————————————————— Call for papers, artworks, performances xCoAx 2022 calls for papers, artworks, performances and research works-in-progress by scholars, artists, performers and students, working on any of the multi-disciplinary facets of xCoAx. ——————————————————————— Topics You are invited to submit theoretical, practical or experimental research work in the form of papers, artworks, and performances, on a range of topics that includes but is not limited to the following: Computation Communication Aesthetics X Algorithms / Systems / Models Artificial Aesthetics Artificial Intelligence / Creativity Audiovisuals / Multimodality Design Interaction Games Generative Art / Design History Mechatronics / Physical Computing Music / Sound Art Performance Philosophy of Art / of Computation Technology / Ethics / Epistemology ——————————————————————— Important dates Extended submission deadline: February 15 Notifications to authors: March 27 Registration deadline for authors: April 17 Delivery of final versions of papers and artwork/performances/symposium abstracts for the proceedings: April 17 Delivery of final versions of multimedia files and video presentations for the website: May 8 Conference: 6-8 July 2022 ——————————————————————— Submission categories: https://xcoax.org/#submit ——————————————————————— Registration: https://xcoax.org/#registration ——————————————————————— Scientific committee: https://xcoax.org/#committees ——————————————————————— The organizing committee André Rangel, CITAR Jason Reizner, Bauhaus-Universität Weimar Luís Nunes, i2ADS / Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Porto Luísa Ribas, CIEBA / Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Lisbon Mario Verdicchio, Università degli Studi di Bergamo Miguel Carvalhais, INESC TEC / i2ADS / Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Porto Pedro Martins, University of Coimbra Penousal Machado, University of Coimbra ——————————————————————— Contacts [email protected] http://xcoax.org https://twitter.com/xcoaxorg https://www.instagram.com/xcoaxorg/
