Within attempts to understand ancient and modern art, both past and recent research efforts had focused on exploring accounts given by writers, artists and philosophers as well as on exploring debates about empathy in aesthetic experience.
Similarly, recent work has explored the interaction of the human with the urban environment. Depending on its shape and structure, the urban environment can serve as a significant factor for promoting human content, but also contributing to its decline. Also, modern interactive technology that becomes a significant part of everyday life can have aesthetic values and evoke emotions. Measuring multimodal affective reactions would provide the means for better understanding emotions elicited by a various range of aesthetic content.
With the goal of this workshop being to connect researchers and advance the state of the art in the affective computing the following topics will be addressed in the workshop:
Multimodal data collection in response to artistic objects; emotions and aesthetic experience.
Qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the experience and absorption of aesthetic values.
Analysis of physiological and behavioural signals captured during aesthetic experience.
Assessment of affective states in response to movies, music, and ancient and modern artwork.
Content analysis of artistic objects (movies, music, paintings, games, digital art, digital archaeology, etc.).
Intrapersonal and interpersonal correlation of multimodal responses during aesthetic experience.
Neuroaesthetics for studying brain mechanisms and sensory, reward, emotional neural processes related to aesthetics.
Human-habitat interaction and its relation to human content, well-being, and modern interactive technology.
Human-robot/computer interaction systems focusing on aesthetic or affective experiences.
Virtual or social environments and aesthetic content.
Digital art and archaeology, and computer vision.
The workshop proceedings will be published in the ACM Digital Library.
We invite the submission of (please note that the number of pages refers to a single page format):
Workshop Full Paper: 14 Page Limit + extra pages for references only with optional auxiliary material (zipped) & thumbnail image
Workshop Short Paper: 7 Page Limit + extra pages for references only with optional auxiliary material (zipped) & thumbnail image
Workshop Poster Abstract: 5 Page Limit + extra pages for references only with optional auxiliary material (zipped) & thumbnail image
The reviewing will be double blind, so submissions should be anonymous: do not include the authors' names, affiliations or any clearly identifiable information in the paper (including in the Acknowledgments and references). It is appropriate to cite past work of the authors if these citations are treated like any other (e.g., "Smith [5] approached this problem by....") - omit references only if it would be obviously identifying the authors. Paper chairs will desk reject non-anonymous papers after reviewing begins.
Submitted papers should conform to the latest ACM publication format. All authors should submit manuscripts for review in a double column format to ensure adherence to page limits. Please note that a non-anonymous author block may require a larger space than the anonymized version. For LaTeX templates and examples, please click on the following link: https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow , download the zip package entitled Primary Article Template - LaTeX, and use the sample-sigconf.tex template with \documentclass[sigconf,review]{acmart} to add line numbers. We suggest you to use the LaTeX templates. You will find Word templates and examples on the same webpage mentioned. Authors who do decide to use the Word template should be made aware that an extra validation step may be required during the camera-ready process.
Note that the ACM Categories & Subject Descriptors section and Author Keywords are mandatory to be included on the first page for your final version to appear in the proceedings and ACM Digital Library. If your submission is accepted, you will be notified within the acceptance notification of the updated ICMI'20 ACM copyright-permission text to update and include.
