From Prof. Celestino Soddu <[log in to unmask]> After 15 years of Generative Art conferences, with the aim of improving the knowledge of Generative Approach in different fields sharing our scientific and creative experience, I would like to invite you to send a proposal of paper, poster, artwork, installation or live-performance for the 16th Generative Art Conference. GA2013 will be held in Milan, Italy, the 10th, 11th and 12th of December 2013 at the Triennale di Milano museum. This event, focused on Art-Science, is organized by the Generative Design Lab of the Politecnico di Milano University. A live-performances festival will be presented in the evenings to a large audience, together with an exhibition of generative artworks and installations. The location is the Honor Hall of the TRIENNALE di Milano, the most important Contemporary Design Museum in Italy. Entrance to the live-performances and to the exhibition will be free. Performers participating only to live-performances will not have to pay the registration fee. Location of Conference, Exhibition and Live-Performances: Italy, Milan, LA TRIENNALE DI MILANO, via Emilio Alemagna 6, 20121, Milano, Italy; www.triennale.org At now GA is the 1st point of reference for researchers and creators using generative advanced approaches and the location will increase the visibility and importance of this 16th international event. Around 700 papers presented at previous conferences are on the GA website http://www.generativeart.com for free consultation. The conference, as in the 15 previous ones, will have only one main session (with around 40 paper presentations, a poster session and evening performances) for increasing the possibilities of exchanging experiences and discussion.
