The Center for the Study for the End of Things, a research institute affiliated with the University of Virginia, is holding its Inaugural Symposium on February 5, 2010.  The location is a vacant 10,000 ft² furniture store in Charlottesville, VA.  Immediately after the Symposium, the building will be demolished.

We are now accepting applications for symposium exhibits.  Practitioners from any discipline or field of study are welcome to submit an application.  Our curatorial goal is to assemble a coherent body of work that revolves around themes of obsolescence, weathering, and decay, as well as meditations on growth, rebirth, and the utility of discarded materials.

Deadline:  January 25 2010.

Call for Artworks, Performances, and Artist's Presentations

http://www.computational-aesthetics.org/2010

Computational Aesthetics bridges the analytic and synthetic by integrating aspects of computer science, philosophy, psychology, and the fine, applied & performing arts. It seeks to facilitate both the analysis and the augmentation of creative behaviour. CAe also 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 artists will be involved in the technical, artistic, and theoretical aspects of this young field. The invited artworks aim to help participants better understand what aesthetics is, what computer technology is currently capable of delivering, and what is involved in the creative process.

Artistic submissions are invited across the broad range of mediums covered by Computational Aesthetics. Specific examples include, but are not limited to:

• artworks that employ real-time visual processing;
• artworks that employ computer graphics on the web;
• 2D or 3D artworks that run on stand-alone consoles;
• virtual worlds created for the web;
• game art pieces that run on stand-alone consoles or the web;
• performances that include live computer graphics and/or live real-time visuals; and
• artist presentations, posters or screenings that explore topics related to computer graphics, modeling, and/or real-time visuals.
