Program

The workshop was held on Jan. 11 and 12, 2022, via Zoom, lasting three-and-a-half hours on each day.  It included:

  • two keynote speakers — one from Computer Science & Engineering, and one from the Arts;
  • eight prominent AlgoArts practitioners and educators who discussed their work and observations;
  • a community town-hall meeting, where audience members talked about challenges and opportunities in the synthesis of the arts and algorithms, and
  • a panel featuring NSF and NEA staff and other experts, discussing the past & present, interacting, and offering a broad perspective on the future of funding and public policy in the field of Algorithmic Arts.

Program

Since this was an online event, each talk was followed by a 10 min break to allow participants to switch context.

Videos of the talks are available here.
