Mon Sep 09 13:53:17 GMT 2013






xCoAx
2014: 2nd International Conference on Computation, Communication,
Aesthetics and X (June 2014, Porto)




Dates:
26-27 June 2014

Location:
Porto, Portugal

Website:
http://xcoax.org/

Deadline
for submissions: 31 December 2013




The
development of computational tools and media has been radically
transforming the landscape for the practice of the arts, of design and
of numerous cultural manifestations. Recognizing this, xCoAx is
designed as a multi-disciplinary enquiry on arts, computers,
computation, communication and the elusive x factor that connects them
all.




xCoAx
is a forum for the exchange of ideas and the discovery of new and
valuable synergies. It is an event exploring the frontiers of digital
arts with the participation of a diverse confluence of computer
scientists, media practitioners and theoreticians, with a focus on the
relations between what can and cannot be computed, what can and cannot
be communicated, what is beautiful and how humans and computational
systems intersect in the development of new directions in aesthetics.




The
first edition of xCoAx happened in 2013 in Bergamo, Italy. The 37 works
presented — selected from a total of 114 submissions from 28 countries
— are compiled in the proceedings book, available at 2013.xcoax.org.
