Focusing on diferent types of artistic content, such as movies, music, literature, urban art, ancient artwork, and modern interactive technology, the goal of this workshop is to enhance the interdisciplinary collaboration among researchers coming from the following domains: afective computing, aesthetics, human-robot/computer interaction, digital archaeology and art, culture, addictive games.
