Call for Papers

EAI ArtsIT 2023 will be held as an on-site conference and, if needed,
accepted authors who are unable to attend the event in person will be given the option to present remotely.

Scope

The ArtsIT conference brings together a wide array of cross-/inter-/trans-disciplinary researchers, practitioners, artists, and academia to present and discuss the symbiosis between art (in its widest definition) and information technology applied in a variety of distinct fields. Since 2009 ArtsIT has become acknowledged as a leading scientific forum for the dissemination of cutting-edge research results in the intersection between art, science, culture, performing arts, media, and technology. The role of artistic practice using digital media is also to serve as a tool for analysis and critical reflection on how technologies influence our lives, culture, and society. ArtsIT is therefore not only a place to discuss technological progress but also a place to reflect on the impact of art and technology on sustainability, responsibility, and human dignity. Besides the main track, the event also focuses on the advances seen in diverse areas that have significantly contributed to the field in the last years, namely, Digital Musical Interfaces, virtualization and artificial intelligence with special sessions.

Campinas is a Brazilian municipality in the interior of São Paulo State, southeast region of Brazil and a few km from the Tropic of Capricorn that cross São Paulo State. It is the first Brazilian city to become a metropolis without being a capital, exerting significant national influence. The city hosts the State University of Campinas – Unicamp – that has been ranked among the top five universities in Latin America and is considered the best university in the region by the British institute Times Higher Education.

In only 51 years of existence, this university has achieved international recognition by fulfilling its mission of building and disseminating knowledge and innovation.

Its complex structure, made up of 6 campuses, has more than 2,000 teachers, more than 8,000 staff and more than 36,000 students. In addition to the health sector – with three hospitals serving the community- its laboratories have national and international partnerships, including high-tech centres established in the region.

The Interdisciplinary Nucleus of Sound Studies (NICS), formed in 1983, has as its main objective to research different manifestations that have sound, in all its aspects and applications, as a source of informational, cognitive and creative content. This year the Conference is hosted by NICS in his 40th anniversary.

The nucleus was born for the vocation in interdisciplinary research, addressing innovative themes for the time that continue to be updated, among them the sound pollution, analysis of Sounds of Brazilian forests, their fauna and native populations phonetics, electronic music, and ethnomusicological records.
