[ecrea] xCoAx 2016: extended deadline for submissions

  xCoAx 2016: 4th International Conference on Computation,
  Communication, Aesthetics and X (July 2016, Bergamo)


Dates: 7-8 July 2016
Location: Bergamo, Italy
Website: http://xcoax.org/ <http://www.xcoax.org/>
*Extended deadline for submissions*: *14 February* *2016 *

xCoAx is an exploration of the intersection where computational tools
and media meet art and culture, in the form of a multi-disciplinary
enquiry on aesthetics, computation, communication and the elusive x
factor that connects them all.

Since 2013, xCoAx has been an occasion for international audiences to
meet and exchange ideas, in search for interdisciplinary synergies among
computer scientists, artists, media practitioners and theoreticians at
the frontiers of digital arts and culture.

The focus is on the unpredictable overlaps between the chaos and freedom
of creativity and the rules and determinism of algorithms, between human
nature and machine technology, with the aim to evolve towards new
directions in aesthetics.

In 2016 xCoAx will go back to where it started: the S.Agostino campus of
the University of Bergamo, a familiar place made fresh by exquisitely
renovated premises where we look forward to hosting you and your work.

The xCoAx Organising Committee is very proud to announce that the
keynote speaker will be Computer Art pioneer Frieder Nake, with a talk
titled “The Disappearing Masterpiece”.
