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…

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.,…

Call for Papers Special Issue of Publizistik “Human-Machine Communication” https://www.springer.com/journal/11616/updates/19728790 Guest Editors: Katrin Etzrodt (TU Dresden), Peter Gentzel (Friedrich–Alexander University Erlangen–Nürnberg), Sonja Utz (Tübingen University), Sven Engesser (TU Dresden) Submission deadline: 30 April 2022 Smart AI-powered machines such as virtual agents, chatbots, and social robots are increasingly pervading everyday lives. They are increasingly able to perceive their environment and act autonomously. As a result, we are witnessing a profound change in which communication through technologies is extended by communication with technologies—machines turn into interlocutors. This implies several theoretical, empirical, and methodological challenges for communication and media research, such as applying,…
