---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS
EvoMUSART 2009
7th European Workshop on Evolutionary and Biologically Inspired Music, Sound, Art and Design
15-17 April, 2009, Tubingen, Germany
http://evostar.na.icar.cnr.it/EvoWorkshops/EvoMUSART/EvoMUSART.html http://www.evostar.org
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTRODUCTION ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
EvoMUSART 2009 is the seventh workshop of the EvoNet working group on Evolutionary Music and Art. Following the success of previous events and the growth of interest in the field, the main goal of EvoMUSART 2009 is to bring together researchers who are using biologically inspired techniques for artistic tasks, providing the opportunity to promote, present and discuss ongoing work in this area.
The workshop will be held from 15-17 April, 2009 in Tubingen, Germany as part of the EvoStar event.
Accepted papers will be presented orally at the workshop and included in the EvoWorkshops proceedings, published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOPICS OF INTEREST ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The papers should concern the use of biology inspired techniques - e.g. Evolutionary Computation, Artificial Life, Artificial Neural Networks, Swarm Intelligence, etc. - in the scope of the generation, analysis and interpretation of art, music, design, architecture and other artistic fields. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Generation o Biologically Inspired Design and Art-Systems that create drawings, images, animations, sculptures, poetry, text, objects, designs, webpages, buildings, etc.; o Biologically Inspired Sound and Music - Systems that create music, sounds, instruments, voices, sound effects, sound analysis, etc.; o Robotic Based Evolutionary Art and Music; o Other related generative techniques; - Theory o Computational Aesthetics, Emotional Response, Surprise, Novelty; o Representation techniques; o Surveys of the state-of-the-art in the area; identification of weaknesses and strengths; comparative analysis; classification; o Validation methodologies; o Studies on the applicability of these techniques to related areas; o New models designed to promote the creative potential of biologically inspired computation; - Computer Aided Creativity o Systems in which biologically inspired computation is used to promote the creativity of a human user; o New ways of integrating the user in the evolutionary cycle; o Analysis and evaluation of: the artistic potential of biology inspired art and music; the artistic processes inherent to these approaches; the resulting artifacts; o Collaborative distributed artificial art environments; - Automation o Techniques for automated fitness assignment; o Systems in which an analysis or interpretation of the artworks is used in conjunction with biologically inspired techniques to produce novel objects; o Systems that exploit biologically inspired computation to perform the analysis of image, music, sound, sculpture, or some other types of artistic object;
