[General] Early Bird Deadline: May 23 -- Computational Aesthetics 2008

Computational Aesthetics 2008 http://computational-aesthetics.org June 18-20, 2008, Lisbon, Portugal Keynote Speakers: Pat Hanrahan, Stanford, CA / Ernest Edmonds, UT Sydney Turner Whitted, Microsoft Research / David Salesin, Adobe Early Bird Registration Deadline: May 23, 2008 Provisional Program Available at: http://computational-aesthetics.org You are invited to participate in the fourth annual symposium on Computational Aesthetics that will take place at the Hotel Riviera in Lisbon, Portugal from 18-20 June 2008. Computational Aesthetics bridges the analytic and synthetic and integrates aspects of computer science, philosophy, psychology, and the fine & performing arts. In particular it focuses on the mathematical and information theoretic aspects of both connectionist and symbol processing methods by humans and computers. Computational Aesthetics seeks to facilitate both the analysis and the augmentation of creative behaviour. It investigates the creation of tools that can enhance the expressive power of the fine and applied arts and furthers our understanding of aesthetic evaluation, perception and meaning. Invited talks will be given by individuals involved in the technical, artistic and theoretical aspects of this young field to help participants to better understand what aesthetics is, what computer technology is currently capable of delivering, and to appreciate what is involved in the creative process.
