Call for Participation A Workshop at ACM CHI 2022 AI-Generated Characters: Putting Deepfakes to Good Use Hybrid Workshop April 30, 2022 Workshop: http://deepfakes.media.mit.edu/ CHI 2022: https://chi2022.acm.org/ Submission deadline: March 5, 2022 AI-generated characters (more infamously known as “deepfakes”) are a form of digital media generated by deep neural networks, which feature the human appearance and appear authentic to human beings. Such realistic renderings are made possible through advances in generative machine learning for the hyper-realistic synthesis, recreation, and modification of prose, images, audio, and video data. While the technology is perhaps most widely associated with media manipulation and misinformation, it…

The symposium is organized and supported by the IEEE Computer Society, IEEE VGTC and ACM SIGGRAPH. The first ISMAR conference was held in 2002 in Darmstadt, Germany. The creation of the conference emerged from the fusion of two former academic events dedicated to this research field: the International Symposium on Augmented Reality (ISAR) and…

Call for Registration Hybrid-Workshop: “What is Proprioceptive Art?” 9-11 March 2022 University of Duesseldorf https://proprioceptive.art What is Proprioceptive Art? Many works of art are predominantly visual or auditory in nature (visual arts such as drawing, painting, photography or performing arts like music). Only some art works (happenings, fluxus, performance) might also crucially involve the audience’s own physicality and thereby intentionally provoke the recipients’ perception of their own body, i.e. their proprioceptions. In the context of the workshop, we want to debate a radical question: Could there be works of art that are either primarily or predominantly proprioceptive in nature: i.e.,…
