International Symposium on Computational Aesthetics in Graphics,
Visualization, and Imaging
Date: May 28–30, 2009
Location: Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
Call for Artworks, Performances, and Artist's Presentations
Website: http://www.computational-aesthetics.org/2009/
You are invited to participate in the fifth annual Symposium on
Computational Aesthetics that will take place in Victoria, British
Columbia, Canada on May 28–30, 2009. CAe is co-located with Computer
Graphics International
Computational Aesthetics bridges the analytic and synthetic, by
integrating aspects of computer science, philosophy, psychology, and
the fine, applied & performing arts. It seeks to facilitate both the
analysis and the augmentation of creative behaviour. CAE also
investigates the creation of tools that can enhance the expressive
power of the fine and applied arts and furthers our understanding of
aesthetic evaluation, perception and meaning.
Invited artists will be involved in the technical, artistic, and
theoretical aspects of this young field. The invited artworks aim to
help participants better understand what aesthetics is, what computer
technology is currently capable of delivering, and what is involved
in the creative process. Artistic submissions are invited across the
broad range of mediums covered by Computational Aesthetics. Specific
examples include, but are not limited to:
· artworks that employ real-time visual processing;
· artworks that employ computer graphics on the web;
· 2D or 3D artworks that run on stand-alone consoles;
· virtual worlds created for the web;
· game art pieces that run on stand-alone consoles or the web;
· performances that include live computer graphics and/or live
real-time visuals;
· artist presentations, posters or screenings that explore topics
related to computer graphics, modeling, and/or real-time visuals
Artwork submission
Submitted artworks should be original works created in the past three
years. Artworks should be stand-alone and must be self-contained and
run on a computer console. Web-based work is encouraged. A number of
Macintosh computers will be available on site for invited artists
displaying their stand-alone console work. Performing artists should
endeavour to provide their own computer equipment.
Artist presentations, posters, screenings and performances should
also be self-contained. The following equipment will be available for
presentations, poster sessions, screenings and performances:
· Two Epson PowerLite 77c Multimedia Projectors, 2200 ansi
lumens, 1024x768 native res;
· Two Da-Lite Fastfold screens, 10’ x 7’;
· Two Mackie SRM 450 self powered speakers and Yamaha 16-
channel mixing board;
· Macintosh G5 desktop computer
Please submit the following items to Steve Gibson
[log in to unmask]:
· A two-three page proposal outlining the concept and technique
of your artwork, presentation, poster session, or performance;
· A detailed listing of your technical needs, including any
equipment you will provide and your space requirements;
· A link to a website which shows examples of the work you will
be presenting
Please note: Computational Aesthetics does not have funding for
