Mario BORILLO (borillo@lrc.irit.fr) Thu, 27 Jul 1995 16:46:57 +0100 CREATIVITY & COGNITION 1996 : Intersections between Art, Technology and Science An International Symposium: Exhibition, Workshop and Public Seminar 29th April-18th May, 1996 Venue: Burleigh Court, Loughborough, UK. In April 1996, Creativity and Cognition 2, An International Symposium and Exhibition on Computer Art and Design will take place at Loughbo- rough University Campus in Loughborough, a market town in the heart of the English countryside readily accessible by air, road or rail. The first Creativity and Cognition Symposium was held at Loughborough 1993. It was a highly successful and internationally acclaimed event. From it a number of ground breaking papers were subsequently published in Knowledge- Based Systems, Languages of Design, Journal of Design Sciences and Tech- nology and a special section of Leonardo. Creativity and Cognition 2 continues the initial aim of creating opportu- nities for bridging the gulf between art, technology and science practice and enabling dialogue to take place between different schools of thought and prac- tice. The 1996 event will have three elements: an exhibition, a public seminar and a workshop. The Exhibition will show the work of internationally reco- gnised artists who use computers in their art practice. In the Public Seminar, the artists will discuss their work and their relationship to the technology. The Workshop Call for Papers is described below.
