- CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS on Knowledge Technology in the Arts
-
- to be presented in a special session
- at the 1993 Conference of the
- Society of Electroacoustic Music in the U.S. (SEAMUS)
- University of Texas at Austin
- March 31st to April 3rd, 1993
-
- and at the Fourth Arts and Technology Conference
- Connecticut College, New London, CT
- March 4th to 6th, 1993
-
- During the 1993 SEAMUS conference, a special session on knowledge technology
- in the arts will be held, co-sponsored by SEAMUS and IAKTA, the newly founded
- International Association for Knowledge Technology in the Arts. The main
- purpose of this session is to familiarize artists with the applications of AI,
- Connectionism, and other knowledge technologies in music and related arts, and
- the new tools that are available for these artistic pursuits. IAKTA is
- calling for proposals for presentations on applications of symbolic AI and
- neural networks to topics in composition, performance, and teaching in the
- computer arts (music, film, dance, video art, performance art), in keeping
- with the conference's focus on "Music, Media, and Movement". We would most
- like to encourage the submission of tutorial presentations that will help
- inspire artists to learn more about and become involved in knowledge
- technology, both as practitioners and as researchers. Speakers will have
- approximately 25-45 minutes to give a thorough introduction to their topic.
- Talks on new and innovative uses of knowledge technology and the arts are also
- welcomed.
-
- Please send abstracts/descriptions up to two pages in length and descriptions
- of your audiovisual requirements by October 1 to IAKTA president Otto Laske
- (laske@cs.bu.edu) and secretary Peter Todd (ptodd@spo.rowland.org).
-
- (For more information on IAKTA itself, our goals, membership structure, etc.,
- please contact Peter Todd at ptodd@spo.rowland.org .)
-
- IAKTA would also like to encourage paper submissions on knowledge technology
- in the arts to the Fourth Arts and Technology Conference at Connecticut
- College. This conference will be held March 4th to 6th, 1993, in New London,
- Connecticut, and is being organized by Noel Zahler and David Smalley. The
- emphasis of the Arts and Technology Conference is multidisciplinary
- interaction; it will cover virtual reality, cognition and the arts,
- experimental theater, the compositional process, and speculative uses of
- technology in education. Submissions in the form of a detailed two-page
- abstract including audiovisual requirements should be sent by October 15 to
-
- Dr. Noel Zahler, Co-director
- Center for Arts and Technology
- Connecticut College, Box 5632
- 207 Mohegan Avenue
- New London, CT 06320-4196
- email: nbzah@conncoll.bitnet
-
- (Authors should be notified of acceptance by November 15, and camera-ready
- copy will be due by January 15, 1993.) A copy of the contribution should also
- be sent to IAKTA president Otto Laske (laske@cs.bu.edu) and secretary Peter
