Call for papers, performances, and workshops

Dates: December 4 - 8th 2017
Location: Morelia, Mexico

On behalf of the organizing committee, the steering committee, and the Live Coding Research Network, we are pleased to invite submission of proposed contributions to the International Conference on Live Coding 2017 (ICLC 2017) taking place in Morelia, Michoacan, Mexico from December 4th to December 8th, 2017. ICLC 2017 follows the second edition held at McMaster University, Ontario, Canada (2016), and the inaugural edition held at the University of Leeds, UK (2015).

During ICLC 2017, paper presentations, performances, and workshops will take place at three important cultural centers: the Mexican Center for Music and Sonic Arts (CMMAS), the Centro Cultural Clavijero and the Comité de Asuntos Intangibles. The conference will have two Algoraves, one at the welcome reception and another at the closing of the event.

Themes

ICLC 2017 is open to any topic related to Live Coding. It aims to offer continuity with previous ICLC research themes, highlighting topics connected to body, equity, and communities. Contributions that challenge the proposed themes will be welcomed.

Some proposed themes are:
