CFP - ∀ISION_E – Drawing a Vision for every Extended Intelligences
enrico pupi
Abstract Deadline: November 14, 2025
Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the Call for Visions of the ∀ISION_E research project.
The pervasive integration of established representational tools with Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems in creative, analytical, and interpretative processes marks a paradigmatic shift. The ∀ISION_E project aims to systematically investigate this transformation, focusing on the concept of extended intelligences, a hybrid cognitive ecosystem where human agency and computational capabilities co-evolve symbiotically. This framework moves beyond the traditional dichotomy between tool and user, fostering a deeply collaborative paradigm.
This transition presents the scientific community with a dual responsibility: on one hand, to boldly explore future potential and envision new methodological horizons; on the other, to critically re-examine disciplinary memory, revaluing archives not merely as repositories of knowledge but as dynamic, active systems. The project seeks to develop reliable frameworks that, through AI, enable advanced semantic interrogation of archival content, unlocking its potential for contemporary research.
The integration of AI into creative and analytical practices inevitably raises critical epistemological, ethical, and deontological questions. Among the most pressing are: the redefinition of authorship in human-machine co-creation; the imperative of algorithmic transparency to ensure verifiability; and the establishment of new criteria for validating knowledge generated or interpreted through such systems.
Addressing these complex issues requires interdisciplinarity as a core methodological principle. No single field —whether Design and Representation, Computer Science, Philosophy, Cognitive Science, or Tech Ethics — can independently provide the conceptual and operational tools needed to fully address these challenges. Only through structured dialogue and critical synthesis across disciplines can a robust theoretical and operational framework emerge, one that governs this new paradigm rather than passively undergoing it.
Within this framework, ∀ISION_E launches a Call for Visions. This initiative aims not merely to collect academic contributions but to invite reflections that, while maintaining rigorous scientific standards, contribute to a pluralistic and forward-looking vision.
The Call for Visions invites contributions that fall within one of the following three thematic tracks:
1 - AI for Representation and Design:
Human-Machine Co-Creation – Active collaboration between designers and AI in generating ideas and solutions.
Generative Design – Use of algorithms to automatically produce and optimize design solutions.
Computational Aesthetics – Visual and formal languages emerging from algorithmic processes.
AI-Driven Morphological Analysis – Form studies supported by artificial intelligence systems.
Algorithmic Prototyping – Rapid creation of prototypes through AI-based automated processes.
2 - AI for Heritage Conservation and Enhancement:
AI for Digital Heritage Innovation – Application of AI to the analysis and management of digital cultural heritage.
Semantic Enrichment – Automated enhancement of models and museum archives through intelligent metadata.
Predictive Conservation – Use of algorithms for diagnosis and prevention of artwork degradation.
Interactive Documentation – AI systems for dynamic museological narratives and documentation.
AI-Driven Accessibility – AI-based tools for expanding physical and digital access to collections.
3 - AI for Education and Learning:
AI-Mediated Learning – Educational processes supported and personalized by artificial intelligence.
Adaptive Learning Systems – Platforms that tailor content and learning paths based on student data.
NLP-Based Education – Use of natural language processing for personalized educational interactions.
Gamification AI – AI-driven game dynamics to enhance student engagement.
Immersive Learning Environments – AI-enhanced virtual and augmented environments for interactive learning.
The Call for Visions seeks to gather original research, review articles, and case studies that, while adhering to a unified format, may span a wide range of theoretical and applied investigations.
Equal consideration will be given to works focused on the development and critical analysis of theories and methodologies, as well as to research centered on the description and evaluation of tools and concrete applications. The aim is to collect a plurality of perspectives that reflect both conceptual exploration and practical experimentation.
Submissions are therefore encouraged to include, and are not limited to:
The formulation of new theories and the proposal of innovative methodological frameworks;
Critical analyses of ethical and social issues;
Forward-looking reflections outlining future scenarios for the discipline;
The presentation of hardware/software implementations, prototypes, and innovative tools;
The discussion of specific case studies;
The documentation of educational practices and experimental teaching experiences.
Publication and dissemination:
All contributions accepted following a double-blind peer-review process will be published free of charge for the authors, in an ISBN-registered volume and distributed in open access via PVBLICA Press – Sharing Knowledge: an independent, online, open access, non-profit publishing platform serving the scientific community.
In addition, the accepted works will be integrated into the ∀ISION_E Digital Atlas, a dynamic visualization tool designed to map and navigate the conceptual connections and thematic synergies among the various submitted visions.
Interdisciplinary Conference:
June 5, 2026, at Politecnico di Torino: Department of Architecture and Design – Castello del Valentino (Participation is free of charge for both authors and interested auditors).
Authors of selected contributions will be invited to present and discuss their work during the project's Interdisciplinary Conference. The conference will be structured into thematic sessions, the objective of which will be to stimulate a shared reflection on the theoretical, ethical, and operational implications of the extended intelligences concept within the field of representation. On this occasion, all accepted submissions will also be made accessible through a conversational assistant powered by Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) technology, providing an advanced and interactive exploration experience, which will allow for reliable semantic consultation, embodying the ethical principles of transparency, verifiability, and source traceability.
