[microsound-announce] FYI 2nd call for artwork A-EYE

[John Hopkins]

Some of you might be interested in going for this -- even though they are 
looking mostly for visuals, maybe proposing sonic works that address the topics 
-- which I think a number of you are doing (in a great way!)...

In the last few decades, nature and bio-inspired digital art has been attracting 
many researchers with background in arts and sciences, especially computer 
scientists and visual artists.

This exhibition is the first of its kind at the AISB convention and it 
incorporates various aspects of generating artworks using swarm intelligence, 
evolutionary algorithms, artificial neural networks, multi-agent systems, 
artificial life and any other algorithm or method that derives from the natural 
world.

* Nature inspired art: creating drawings, paintings, images, animations, 
sculptures etc
* Information visualization: linking art, nature, and science

* Robotic-based evolutionary art
* Artificial intelligence or generative techniques for computer art


PUBLICATIONS:

Artists are invited to submit their current digital artwork, or images of their 
work, along with a 2-4 page commentary describing the underlying techniques and
