Meeting Description:

The International Conference on Dance Data, Cognition, and Multimodal
Communication (DDCMC19) is organized in the framework of the conclusion of
ERC-funded research project (n. 336200) BlackBox Arts&Cognition.

When: September 19-21, 2019
Where: FCSH – Universidade Nova de Lisboa (Lisbon, Portugal)
Web: http://blackbox.fcsh.unl.pt/ddcmc19

The increasing accumulation of dance data (for archives of contemporary
artists, for the computational processing of collected data or for
re-enactments and digital visualizations of previously staged pieces) is
becoming a strong motivation for both researchers and performing artists to
reflect upon the affordances and usefulness of looking at bodily movements in
artistic settings to view human communication and cognitive processes (such as
decision-making, creative and critical thinking, emotions) through a different
lens.

The event wishes to bring together contemporary artists and researchers from a
broad range of related academic disciplines, working within different
theoretical and methodological paradigms to share their original research in a
creative, international, and stimulating atmosphere.

This conference aims to provide a interdisciplinary forum (Humanities,
Information Technologies, and Cognitive Science) for those creating and
handling data from Performing Arts (with a focus on contemporary dance)
interested in issues of multimodality and cognition in human communication and
in human-computer interaction, particularly regarding documentation, video
annotation tools, collaborative platforms for cultural heritage preservation,
and scientific analyses of dance data, such as human behaviour and agency in
different types of communication and their cognitive, cultural, narrative,
technological, social, textual, or discourse functions.

Although more broadly the scope of the conference is defined to Performing
Arts, we wish to explore more specifically on the current potential of “dance
data” and how it can be related to content or form, processes or products,
qualitative and quantitative inquiries. Dance data serve a variety of roles
such as the subject matter for research, aspects of methodologies, and the
format for public presentations. Papers dealing with the representation and
annotation of the implicit knowledge contained in performing practices and the
application of novel visualization technologies to support it are particularly
welcome.


Call for Papers:

Papers on a wide range of topics dealing with Performing Arts are welcome,
including, and not limited to:

http://ddcmc19.blackbox.fcsh.unl.pt/invited-speakers/

Abstract Submission:

We invite abstracts (500 words maximum, excluding references and
tables/figures, anonymized) of original work for oral paper presentations and
posters to be submitted via EasyChair for peer review. 

For details, see: http://blackbox.fcsh.unl.pt/ddcmc19/abstracts/

Time and space, albeit constrained, will be dedicated for Technical Demos,
Artistic Installations, and Demonstrative-Lectures (video, interactive, VR,
multimodal, dance, etc.) that accompany accepted presentations/posters.

Full papers:

A selection of papers will be considered for publication in a theme volume.
More information will follow on the conference website.
