Call for Papers - Art Machines: International Symposium on Computational Media Art (ISCMA 2019)
We are now calling for papers for Art Machines: International Symposium on Computational Media Art (ISCMA), which will take place between 4th – 7th January 2019 at the School of Creative Media, City University of Hong Kong. “Art Machines” will bring together Academics, Artists and Professionals in the field of Computational Media Art in a four-day symposium whose core theme will be the topic of Machine Learning and Art.
This agenda-setting Symposium will provide an opportunity for in depth reflection upon and assessment of the impact of artificial intelligence on the making of computational art and media, as well as to reflect more broadly on the conditions of existence, range, and futures of computationally based art and media. In addition to the academic keynotes, panels and discussion forums, the conference will include the presentation of artistic projects, a major concurrent exhibition on Asian Digital Art, and a student-led Workshop.
