Please consider submitting, or forwarding the call to anyone who might be interested, the paper/pictoria/artworks deadlines are coming up - 2/15 (title & abstract), 2/22 (paper).
The 13th ACM conference on Creativity & Cognition will take place virtually on June 22 and 23, 2021. The 14th conference will be located in Venice, Italy on the Isola San Servolo in June 2022.
C&C '21, virtual Venice in the World, C&C '22, the World comes to Venice
Both conferences will explore the themes of creativity, craft and design that are strongly connected to Venice. The virtual conference in 2021 will open up Venice to the world through exploring these themes. Then, in 2022, the world will come to Venice to discover, engage with and learn about creativity, craft and design reshaping the Venetian region.
C&C 2021 invites papers, pictorials, artworks as well as posters, demonstrations and graduate student symposium submissions. Papers and pictorials accepted for publication will be published through the ACM Digital Library in June 2021.
All papers and pictorials accepted will be presented virtually at C&C 2021 and will also be invited to present/exhibit at the C&C 2022 conference in Venice.
Authors will be given the opportunity to update their presentations and artworks in 2022 to reflect new work, advances and lessons learned after the 2021 conference. C&C 2022 will be accepting submissions for workshops and tutorials.
C&C brings together artists, scientists, designers, educators, and researchers to more deeply investigate how interactive computing systems and socio-technical processes affect creativity. Of particular interest are contributions that relate to the 2021 conference theme: Creativity, Craft and Design. Venice — the location of C&C 2022 — is renowned for the development and retention of craft design skills in glass, furniture, fashion, printing, and architecture.
