Generative Art 2008
GA2008 will be held in Italy, at Politecnico di Milano University, the 16-17-18 December 2008. The opening cocktail will be the previous day, the 15th of December, at 6PM.
This year we reached the eleventh annual event and GA conference increased of interest and importance. It is now the 1st reference for people researching and creating with generative advanced approaches. Around 450 papers presented in the previous conferences are in the GA website www.generativeart.com for free consultation.
As the other years we will wait for your proposals (papers, posters, artworks/installations, live performances) until September 15th and we are sure that with your contributions GA2008 will be, once more, a moment of great exchange of experiences and an occasion of meeting people working with the same approach in a wide range of different disciplines.
I hope that you will be interested to this meeting and that you will joint us.
The CALL FOR PAPER / POSTER / ARTWORK / PERFORMANCE is in the website www.generativeart.com where you can find the list of the participants to the previous GA conferences and their papers.
For increasing the possibilities to exchange experiences and discussions, the conference, as the 10 previous editions, will have only one main session (with around 40 paper presentations and a poster session).
In the evening of the days of the conference a live-performances Festival will be presented to a more large audience, together with an exhibition of generative artworks.
The PROCEEDINGS (papers, posters, artworks and performances presentations) WILL BE PRINTED BEFORE THE CONFERENCE and will be available starting from 15 December 2008.
