This call is open to any researcher regardless of nationality, gender, age or career stage.

The International Conference on Live Coding, ICLC 2021 invites submissions of papers, music/audiovisual performances and online exhibitions. Our conference theme this year is Convergent Evolutions and will be distributed within three subtopics: Code & Semantics, Visuality, and Social & Anthropologic.

Code & Semantics

Research projects, works, practices addressing the use, dissemination and creation of live coding languages and idiosyncratic semantic structures.

Visuality

Live coding and algorithmic tools for and artistic approaches to visuality in a broader sense.

Social & Anthropologic

Social and human focused topics regarding live coding and computer music, including gender, decolonial, political, educational themes among others.

We encourage submission of papers related to these themes, but there is no limitation to submissions covering related areas such as:

• Aesthetics of live coding and computer music
• Algorithmic composition
• Analytical tools for music, visuals and other forms of digital art
• Artificial intelligence [machine learning, deep learning, neural networks]
• Languages for live coding and computer music
• Live coding without computers
• Live cinema
• History and alternative histories of computer music and live coding
• Immersive realities [audio, visuals, augmented reality]
