Art on the edge once meant Painting. Not clean, representational, neat painting, but messy, expressive, abstract painting. Then the computer came along. Touted as a procedural machine, no one expected intuitive, non-procedural painters to turn to pixels. Why were so many expressionist painters drawn to the computer in the buggy days of mid-1980s, and how did it transform their visual language and output? What are they doing now? As one of the artists who made the leap, Rubin will discuss her own leaps, give an overview of the work of other artists, and look at how the computer continues to change concepts of imagery as it becomes a more available medium in previously less technologically advanced countries.

Computational Aesthetics will be held the Hotel Riviera in Lisbon, Portugal.

Accepted papers will be fully refereed and will be published by the Eurographics Association in their workshop proceeding series.

The article analyses the uniqueness of the new media revolution by comparing it with the avant-garde revolution of the 1910s-1920s in the visual arts, design and film. The author argues that the 1920s avant-garde techniques were transformed into the conventions of modern human-computer interface and software, thus functioning as a foundation of post-industrial labour. He also claims that new media does, in fact, represent a new avant-garde for the information society, although it uses old modernist forms. If the 1920s avant-garde came up with novel forms for the new media of their time (photography, film, new printing and architectural technologies), the new media avant-garde introduces radically innovative ways of using already accumulated media. Thus, computer-based techniques of media access, manipulation and analysis are the new avant-garde.

In the past two or so years the term generative art has become fashionable. It can be found in very different contexts, such as academic discourses, media art festivals, industrial design and architecture. Very often, the term is used —if not 100% synonymously for software art —as an equivalent for software art. Somehow generative art and software art are related to each other —but what exactly this relation is, is left mostly in the dark.

For the past fifteen years, increasing numbers of artists around the world are working in collaborative mode with telecommunications. In their 'works', which we shall refer to as 'events', images and graphics are not created as the ultimate goal or the final product, as it is common in the fine arts. Employing computers, video, modems and other devices, these artists use visuals as part of a much larger interactive, bi-directional communication context. Images and graphics are created not simply to be transmitted by an artist from one point to another, but to spark a multidirectional visual dialogue with other artists and participants in remote locations.

Interview with Arjun Appadurai by Anette Baldauf and Christian Hoeller.

Eduardo Kac è un artista e uno scrittore che indaga le dimensioni filosofiche e politiche dei processi di comunicazione. Egualmente interessato agli aspetti estetici e sociali dell'interazione verbale e non-verbale, nel proprio lavoro Kac esamina sistemi linguistici, scambi dialogici, e la comunicazione fra le specie. Le opere di Kac, che spesso connettono spazi virtuali e spazi fisici, propongono vie alternative alla comprensione del ruolo dei fenomeni di comunicazione nella formazione/costruzione di realtà consensuali.

Sixteen Colors was originally created as "Somnium" in 1999. Somnium was a small site that allowed users to view the current months' packs online. In the years since Sixteen Colors has grown to an attempt to create a comprehensive archive of the entire ANSI art and ASCII art scenes. In addition, the site attempts to create a historical record of artists, groups and scene events. Sixteen Colors currently boasts 3.683 packs. Users can view artworks by pack and year, artist and group. The community is also encouraged to add and edit metadata relating to packs, groups and artists. If you have a new pack or a pack that is missing from the archive you may upload it at any time.
