[General] Expressive+Wiced 2025 Call for posters and demos

The Expressive Symposium explores the capacity of computer graphics, animation, and computational media to be used in artistic, aesthetic, and creative ways. The field can be seen as encompassing problems in expressive understanding, expressive communication, and expressive interaction: * Expressive understanding integrates aspects of computer science, philosophy, psychology, and the fine, applied, and performing arts, investigating theoretical approaches that further our understanding of aesthetic evaluation, perception and meaning. * Expressive communication focuses on imagery and motion, which is expressive rather than * photorealistic, although it may incorporate realistic elements. * Expressive interaction explores models, algorithms, and technologies for sketch-based and XR interfaces, particularly classifying and recognizing hand-drawn shapes as a way to create or edit digital models, text, mathematics, or 3D shapes. Expressive 2025 ( <http://expressive.graphics/2025/> http://expressive.graphics/2025/) will take place in London, UK, on May 12th 2025 - co-located with Eurographics 2025. Expressive 2025 will host an exhibition for artworks, posters, and demonstration projects, where artistic pieces, computational demonstrations, and posters will be featured side-by-side. This category focuses on recent research and creative activities at the intersection of arts and sciences. We are open to any work and research related to the Expressive 2025 conference topics. The authors of accepted works will be invited to present their work (as posters or interactive demo sessions) through a panel discussion at the main Expressive 2025 conference. Accepted works will be archived through the <https://diglib.eg.org/> Eurographics Digital Library and will be made available in the ACM Digital Library. All submissions should be between 2 and 4 pages, written in English, including a title page with an abstract, keywords, and a bibliography. The required LaTeX template is available <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/Expressive_WICED_2025> from the SRM system. Submissions should provide a clear description of the work and the process. Posters and demos will be demonstrated and/or displayed at the conference venue. Authors of accepted works in all areas of submitted work are encouraged to demonstrate their work; creating a separate submission for a poster and a demo is unnecessary if they refer to the same project. All submissions must be made through the <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/Expressive_WICED_2025> Eurographics SRM conference submission site. If you have any questions, please feel welcome to contact the Posters and Demos chairs Daniel Berio and Alexandre Bruckert at posters(a)expressive.graphics <mailto:posters@expressive.graphics> .
