Re: science wars replace culture wars as new divider in contemp politics

[Andre Rangel]

Hi Alex,

Thank you for your text. Just a minor correction.

Unfortunately. In Portugal, the extreme right “Chega” was the third most voted 
in the last election (7.15% of the votes). In Spain Vox is the political 
umbrela for Francoism/Nazi/Nationalist movements. Vox is connected with Chega. 
Unfortunately.

Best,

André

Final Call xCoAx 2022: International Conference on Computation, Communication, Aesthetics and X

[Andre Rangel]

xCoAx 2022: International Conference on Computation, Communication, Aesthetics 
and X — Final Call
(6-8 July 2022)

Dates: 6-8 July 2022

Location: Coimbra, Portugal and online

Website: http://xcoax.org/ 
Extended submission deadline: 15 February 2022

xCoAx is an exploration of the intersection where computational tools and media 
meet art and culture, in the form of a multi-disciplinary enquiry on 
aesthetics, computation, communication and the elusive X factor that connects 
and characterises them all.

The focus of xCoAx is on the unpredictable overlaps between creative freedom 
and algorithmic rules, between human nature and machine technology, aimed 
towards new directions in aesthetics.

xCoAx has been an occasion for international audiences to exchange ideas in 
search for interdisciplinary synergies between computer scientists, artists, 
media practitioners, and theoreticians at the thresholds between digital arts 
and culture. 

Starting in 2013 in Bergamo, xCoAx has so far taken place also in Porto, 
Glasgow, Lisbon, Madrid, Milan, and Graz.
xCoAx 2022 will take place in Coimbra, Portugal. 
However, building on our experience of the CoViD-19 pandemic, part of the event 
will be made available online. We will closely monitor the evolving situation 
and more details will follow. 

xCoAx 2022’s keynote speakers are Winnie Soon and Andreas Broeckmann.

xCoAx 2021
Computation, Communication, Aesthetics & X
12–16 July 2021, (Graz) online
Program now online at https://2021.xcoax.org/#program 

Opening and content unveiling: Monday, 12th July, 6:00 PM CEST
Keynote speakers: Yuk Hui and Špela Petrič

xCoAx is an international conference that explores the frontiers of digital art 
with a multidisciplinary investigation on aesthetics, computing, communication 
and the elusive X factor that connects them all. After visiting Milan, Madrid, 
Lisbon, Bergamo, Glasgow, Porto and Cyberspace, in 2021 xCoAx goes hybrid in 
Graz, Austria under the auspices of IEM 
, 
the Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics at the University of Music and 
Performing Arts Graz, and online. 
xCoAx 2021 is a totally open event where everyone can attend and join the 
discussion!

Opening event:
The opening of xCoAx 2021 will take place on Zoom on July 12th at 6PM CEST. The 
Organising Committee will be extremely happy to welcome you there to meet, 
greet, network, and exchange impressions and opinions. This will also be the 
moment when all content is made available online.
 
Papers have been organised as follows:
There are 6 different sessions, where papers with stimulating connections and 
overlaps were put together. The authors were invited to record a 15-minute 
presentation of their work. There will be Q&A panels with the audience at times 
and in Zoom sessions as indicated in the Program (available soon). You can 
access all the material: abstracts, papers in PDF format and video 
presentations by accessing xCoAx’s website at 2021.xcoax.org 
 and clicking on “Paper Sessions” in the navigation 
menu (available July 12). You can join the discussion on Twitter by replying to 
the tweet at the end of each session page.
 
Artworks have been organised as follows:
The xCoAx 2021 website features a page for each artwork that was selected for 
the exhibition, where the artists present their work with visual documentation, 
an abstract, a prerecorded artist talk and other media assets. All of the 
artwork presentations will be streamed on YouTube, and there will be two 
roundtables in Zoom with the artists and audience. You can access each 
artwork’s page by accessing xCoAx’s website at 2021.xcoax.org 
 and clicking on “Exhibition” in the navigation menu 
(available July 12). You can join the discussion on Twitter by replying to the 
tweet at the end of each artwork’s page.

Performances have been organised as follows:
The xCoAx 2021 website includes a page for each selected performance, where the 
performers illustrate their work with a video, an abstract, a prerecorded 
artist talk and other media assets. There will be roundtables in Zoom with 
performers and audience. You can access each work’s page by accessing xCoAx’s 
website at 2021.xcoax.org  and clicking on 
“Performances” in the navigation menu (available July 12). You can join the 
discussion on Twitter by replying to the tweet at the end of each performance’s 
page.

The Doctoral Symposium has been organised as follows:
Doctoral students whose research proposals were accepted were invited to a 
discussion and feedback session with our chairs Angela Ferraiolo and Marko 
Ciciliani. The symposium has usually taken place in a more secluded part of 
xCoAx, and we kept with this tradition by not recording the online session to 
allow for a more relaxed environment where to exchange opinions and give 
advice. However, the xCoAx 2021 website features a page with all the research 
proposals discussed during the symposium, which you can access by going to 
xCoAx’s website at 2021.xcoax.org  and clicking on 
“Doctoral Symposium” in the navigation menu (available July 12).
