--------------------------------------------
 One-day public symposium 'Completing the Circle' - Incorporating Evaluation Methods in 
Creative Work
---------------------------------------------

Evaluative and creative approaches to art, design and media are often seen as belonging 
to different traditions. This event is intended to promote dialogue between them, centred 
on the changes made possible by interactive digital technologies. A set of internationally 
peer-reviewed papers will be followed by an opportunity for discussion.

This is a one-day symposium endorsed by the BCS Computer Arts Society and the Design 
Research Society, to be held in central London on Monday 19th January 2009.

Registration to attend is open now and ends early January. To be sure of a place, it's best 
to book before Christmas.
 
Attendance for the day costs less than £50, reduced to below £25 for full-time students, 
members of the British Computer Society (BCS), Computer Arts Society (CAS) and Design 
Research Society (DRS).

The fee includes refreshments and a copy of the proceedings on CD.

 What is the point?
---------------------------------------------
The symposium celebrates curiosity in creative digital work, bringing together artists, 
designers, computer scientists, developers and academics. All papers have been peer-
reviewed by an international panel.

The theme is controversial: the event title - 'Completing the Circle' - implies that 
evaluation is often missing from the creative process. But what is the role of evaluation 
in creative practice and how, if at all, is this altered by digital technologies? 

Interactive digital technologies offer an increasing range of opportunities for artists, 
designers and other creative workers to find out how their work is experienced. Some 
creative people are keen to embrace these opportunities, while others consider such 
methods an intrusion. The symposium allows participants to share ideas and expertise 
and tackle some hard questions.

An international programme of speakers present papers which focus on using interactive 
technologies and other novel methods to evaluate the user's or audience's response to 
media including artworks, designs and performance. 

Leaders of the field from around the world will contribute, including Professor Ernest 
Edmonds who directs the Creativity and Cognition Studios at the University of Technology 
in Sydney, and Kristina Hook, professor in human-machine interaction at Stockholm 
University/Royal Institute of Technology. The day includes papers exploring innovative 
uses of eye-tracking technology; non-verbal elicitation of responses to designs; changes 
in the relation between artist, exhibit, gallery and public brought about by digital 
interaction. Other speakers will interrogate the basic principles in question.


Participants will benefit from new knowledge on techniques of evaluation, on important 
case studies, and on the practical and conceptual issues to be confronted. 

This event is organised by the Lansdown Centre for Electronic Arts at Middlesex 
University and supported by the BCS Computer Arts Society and the Design Research 
Society.
