Call for Book Chapters
The Art of Artificial Evolution
Springer Natural Computing Series
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The use of biological inspired techniques for the development of
artistic
systems is a recent, exciting and significant area of research.
There is a
growing interest in the application of these techniques in fields
such as:
visual art and music generation, analysis, and interpretation; sound
synthesis; architecture; video; and design.
Resulting from this growing interested, this edited volume seeks
to present
the latest state-of-the art contributions to the emerging field of
Biological Inspired Art and Music. The editors wish to invite
authors to
submit their original and unpublished contributions to this field.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Topics of Interest
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The chapters should concern the use of biological inspired
techniques - e.g.
Evolutionary Computation, Artificial Life, Swarm Intelligence,
etc. - in the
scope of the generation, analysis and interpretation of art,
music, design,
architecture and other artistic fields. Topics of interest
include, but are
not limited to:
- Generation
o Biological Inspired Art - Systems that create drawings,
images,
animations, sculptures, poetry, text, etc.;
o Biological Inspired Music - Systems that create musical
pieces,
sounds, instruments, voices, etc.;
o Robotic Based Evolutionary Art and Music;
- Analysis and Interpretation
o Systems that resort to biological inspired computation to
perform the
analysis of image, music, sound, sculpture, or some other types
of artistic
object;
o Systems in which the analysis of artworks is used in
conjunction with
EC techniques to produce novel objects;
- Theory
o Computational Aesthetics, Emotional Response, Surprise,
Novelty;
o Representation techniques;
o Validation methodologies;
o Studies on the applicability of these techniques to other
related areas;
- Artistic perspectives
o Analysis and evaluation of the artistic potential of
biological
inspired art and music;
o Analysis, description and evaluation of the artistic
processes
inherent to these approaches;
o Analysis and evaluation of the resultant artefacts;
