[Commlist] CFP: Artificial Creativity. Looking at the future of Digital Culture conference

Mon Jan 22 13:20:33 GMT 2024




We are delighted to announce the forthcoming First Conference On Artificial Creativity <https://www.artificial-creativity.it/>, that will be held in Milan at SAE Institute. The conference, promoted and funded by UTP (Pegaso University), aims at being the opportunity for discussion, reflections and presentations of research, studies and artwork that can show an aspect of the connection between Artificial Intelligence and Creativity, with a special focus on creative media languages.

ABOUT

The question of how technology moulds physical and social environments, collective and individual identities, and cultural and artistic production serves as a driving force for practitioners across various disciplines. The impact of technology on social systems, economic power, moral judgments, notions of reality, and the integrity of human identity encompasses two competing ideas: the concept of inherent progressive intent in modern technological advancement versus the unintended consequences and repercussions of technological influence, which, once set in motion, cannot be undone.

Thus, digital evolutions - up to the ultimate incorporations of artificial intelligence - have determined two opposing movements: on one hand, reflections, questions, and concerns about the future of culture and knowledge, regarding the processes of construction, sharing, and acquisition; on the other hand, new aesthetics and new potentialities for artistic and cultural expression.

In this highly polarized framework, characterized by controversial and opposing positions, the proposal for a joint SAE-UTP (Pegaso Digital University) event represents an opportunity for International scholars to engage in a dialogue, with the aim of bringing together the debate offered by the different perspectives surrounding visual, auditory, audiovisual, and textual creative productions.

CALL FOR PAPERS DETAILS AND DEADLINE

We invite scholars, technologists, artists, and industry professionals to send a 300 word abstract (English or Italian) with the presentation of their own research, theoretical reflections or literary review on the impact of AI in artistic and, more generally, creative production. Artistic installation or AI-combined creative products are welcomed for the exhibition panel, during the second day of the conference, in which artists can describe and show their production.

It will be possible to submit a poster-presentation. In this specific case, it is necessary to send a short abstract with title and the main core of the poster (max 200 words).

Please, send your proposal by the following form: https://forms.gle/XEWNim83mLKZDQXF7 <https://forms.gle/XEWNim83mLKZDQXF7>
