[alife] Call for Works: Artificial Intelligence and Analogous Interactions at ICMC 2010

CALL FOR WORKS:  ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND ANALOGOUS INTERACTIONS AT ICMC 2010
http://ICMC2010.org/open-call.html#analogous

Complexity theory is not new to art or to our culture.  It migrated
from computer science and biology to economics and art and, with the
advent of the world wide web, it invaded our collective subconscious.
Analogous seeks to support complexity-driven art and artists playing
under this conceptual umbrella of "Interaction Art".

Analogous invites proposals for presentation at Analogous Interactions
events for the International Computer Music Conference, taking place
in New York City in June 2010.  Works should explore the intersection
of computer music and emergent phenomena -- including, but not limited
to, generative sound- and video-works, performative ecologies and
installations, live-coding and musical improvisation, reality-based
games and social experiments, biomedical hacking and new technology,
artificial intelligence and chaordic systems.  Works should be
"nondeterministic", having an unpredictable and/or live element, and
should be appropriate for a performance, an installation, or a social
event.  (Both works-in-progress and finished works will be
considered.)
