[Yasmin_announcements] Appel à Communications : La Poésie scientifique, de la gloire au déclin

From Hughes Marchal


Appel à communications

La Poésie scientifique, de la gloire au déclin

Colloque international

Montréal (Canada), 15-17 septembre 2010

[See English text below]

À la fin des Lumières, plusieurs pays européens virent
s'imposer et circuler des œuvres alliant vers et exposé
scientifiques, tels que The Botanic Garden d'Erasmus Darwin
(1791), rapidement traduit en français par Deleuze, Les
Trois Règnes de la nature de Jacques Delille (1808),
traduits en néerlandais dès 1813, ou encore Die Metamorphoze
der Pflanzen de Goethe (1798). Le succès de ces longs
traités, souvent complétés par un important appareil de
notes, constitue l'un des points culminants d'une tradition
de poésie didactique remontant à Lucrèce ou Virgile, mais il
est sans doute aussi le chant du cygne du genre.

Les acteurs de la « République des Lettres » unissaient,
selon Voltaire, des compétences allant « des épines des
mathématiques aux fleurs de la poésie ». Ce modèle disparaît
au 19e s. au profit d'une culture divisée en disciplines
désormais réputées distinctes. De fait, des voix multiples
vont condamner de plus en plus fréquemment l'alliance entre
poésie et science. Leopardi pose entre elles « une inimitié
jurée et mortelle », Keats reproche à Newton d'avoir «
détruit l'arc-en-ciel », et Poe, relayé par Baudelaire, fait
du didactisme une « hérésie ». En France, après 1900 et
Sully Prudhomme, les efforts pour mettre en vers la science
n'aboutiront souvent qu'à enrichir le catalogue des « fous
littéraires ».

La remise en cause de la légitimité du poème scientifique a
entraîné sa dévalorisation esthétique et une certaine
ignorance critique. La manière dont la poésie scientifique
moderne s'est étiolée dans chaque pays à des rythmes
différents reste en conséquence peu connue, et n'a pas fait
l'objet d'une réflexion comparatiste approfondie.

À l'initiative d'une équipe de recherche travaillant sur la
poésie scientifique française, ce colloque réunira des
spécialistes de différentes littératures pour essayer de
dresser une cartographie de l'évolution du genre, en Europe
et en Amérique du Nord, de 1750 à nos jours.

Le phénomène de promotion, puis de remise en cause, et
finalement de disparition, a-t-il affecté chaque région de
la même manière et aux mêmes dates ? A-t-il été propre à
l'ensemble de l'Occident ou n'a-t-il concerné que certains
pays ? Quels ont été les formes employées, leurs facteurs de
péremption, et les arguments mis en œuvre pour ou contre le
genre ? La poésie scientifique survit-elle néanmoins et sous
quelle forme ?

Tout en privilégiant des contributions à valeur de synthèse,
le colloque pourra s'ouvrir à des études plus monographiques
portant sur des figures exemplaires de cette production. Les
travaux pourront s'inscrire dans un ou plusieurs des quatre
axes principaux :

- Tendances : Panoramas diachronique ou synchronique sur
l'ensemble d'une production nationale, sur un sous-genre ou
sur un thème donné.

- Acteurs : Interventions sur les figures majeures de la
poésie scientifique (auteurs, contributeurs, savants,
contradicteurs du genre, etc.)

- Espaces : Approches privilégiant les phénomènes
d'interfaces nationales (traductions, voyages, engouement et
modes transnationales, nationalisme et science)

- Méthodes : Réflexions sur les outils mobilisables pour
aborder ce type de textes.

Les communications dureront une vingtaine de minutes. Les
propositions (3500 signes max.) devront être adressées aux
organisateurs avant le 10 octobre 2009 :

Hugues Marchal (Université de la Sorbonne nouvelle Paris 3 /
CNRS) : marchal.hugues@wanadoo.fr

The Glory and Fall of Scientific Poetry

An International Colloquium

Montreal (Canada), Sept. 15-17, 2010

By the end of the Enlightenment period in Europe, a number
of literary works mixing verse and science gained prominence
and were circulated in several countries. Erasmus Darwin's
The Botanic garden (1791) was quickly translated into French
by Deleuze., Jacques Delille's Les Trois règnes de la nature
(1808) was translated in Flemish as early as 1813, and
Goethe published his Metamorphoze der Pflanzen in 1798. The
success of these long treatises, often accompanied with an
imposing set of footnotes, marks a high point in the
tradition of didactic poetry that goes as far back as
Lucretius or Vergil. Yet, it is at the same time the swan's
song of the genre.

Participants in the "Republic of Letters" possessed an
expertise that ranged, according to Voltaire, "from the
thorns of mathematics to the flowers of poetry". This all
disappears during the 19th c. to the benefit of a culture
made up of disciplines considered distinct from then on. As
a matter of fact, the alliance between science and poetry
soon started being condemned. According to Leopardi, they
share "a sworn and eternal enmity"; Keats reproaches Newton
with "unweaving the rainbow". For Poe, didactism is but a
"heresy" – a position backed by Baudelaire. In France, after
1900 and Sully Prudhomme, any effort to convey science in
verse will often but result in enriching the inventory of
"fous littéraires".

Thus denied of its legitimacy, scientific poetry equally
lost any esthetic value it might have had and it was widely
ignored by literary critics. This process took place in
different ways in different countries, but little is known
about it since no serious comparative study has ever been
conducted.

Initiated by a research team at work on French scientific
poetry, the Montreal colloquium will bring together
specialists of different literatures in order to try and map
the evolution of the genre, in Europe and in North America,
from 1750 until today.

Did the fall of scientific poetry from an elevated status,
followed by an almost complete disappearance, work in the
same way at the same time in all areas? Was it a global
Western phenomenon or did it affect some countries only?
Which poetic forms were in use, what is it that caused their
fall of grace and what kind of arguments were used for or
against scientific poetry? Is there still some kind of
scientific poetry in existence today and what does it look like?

The emphasis will be put on attempts at a global
apprehension of the topic but monographic studies will
equally be welcome when dedicated to exemplary cases.

Four major directions will be favored:

- Trends: Panoramic views in synchrony or diachrony of a
nation's output, or of a sub-genre or a specific theme.

- Actors: Communications dedicated to major figures
(authors, contributors, scientists, opponents of the genre,
etc.)

- Areas: Emphasis on the role of national interfaces
(translations journeys, transnational themes and fashions,
science and nationalist views).

- Methods: Tools adapted to the study of scientific poetry
texts.

The duration of standard communications will not exceed some
20 mn. Proposals (3500 signs max) should be forwarded to the
conveners by October 10:

CNRS) : marchal.hugues@wanadoo.fr

[Yasmin_announcements] ANNOUNCING YASMIN DISCUSSION : (UN)INHABITABLE?. ART OF EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS

ANNOUNCING YASMIN DISCUSSION : (UN)INHABITABLE?. ART OF
EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS

Discussion at :
http://estia.media.uoa.gr/mailman/listinfo/yasmin_discussions

@rt Outsiders (September 9th – October 11th 2009) :
http://www.art-outsiders.com/edition2009/default-en.htm


Leonardo/Olats in collaboration with the @rt Outsiders
Festival is pleased to propose this Yasmin discussion on
"Habitability and exteme environments"

The 2009 edition of the @rt Outsiders Festival that takes
place at the Maison Européenne de la Photographie from Sept
9 to October 11, focuses on extreme environments with the
title "(Un)inhabitable? Art of extreme environments".


We will hold a YASMIN discussion from September 25 to
October 15 2009 on how artists and scientists are involved
in questions of habitability and extreme environments.

This discussion will be moderated by the organisers
Jean-Luc Soret, artistic director of the @rt Outsiders Festival
Annick Bureaud, theoretician and art critic, director of
Leonardo/Olats
and Roger Malina, Observatoire Astronomique de Marseille
Provence


These are environments that were, until recently,
uninhabited by human beings and that contemporary science
and technology turn into "inhabitable" places (Antarctica,
underwater world, outer space, deserts); but also those that
are becoming "uninhabitable" due to the impacts of our way
of life (pollution, technological accidents, economical
pressures and global warming).
(Un)Inhabitable? – Art of Extreme Environments presents
works that explore the meaning of living in extreme
environments, in the imaginary realm as well as in the
physical one, in the political, social and environmental
fields as well as in the poetic ones.
Beyond the exhibition, on September 16th, a conference is
organised at the Maison Européenne de la Photographie, on
"The geopolitical stakes of the energy ressources of the
arctic zone" (6 – 8 pm)

* All Yasminers are invited to participate in the discussion.

Writing the Score for Drawing.

Roman outlines sources that dominated his pursuit as an artist
for over 60 years. He identifies "form generating" ideas from
pioneers of non-objective art that shaped his pre-algorist work
and have continued to shape his approach to algorithmic art. His
presentation illustrates the transition from what he calls
"art-mind guiding hand" to "art-mind guiding machine". By doing
so he suggests that the "decision bit" and one's art ideas are
inseparable. For this session he will include a brief addendum on
his 2008 project, the Upsidedown Book and Mural for which he
resurrected pre-algorist drawings and transformed them with
digital tools.

Short Bio

Roman Verostko, born 1929, Art Institute of Pittsburgh (1949),
Professor Emeritus, MCAD (1994). Primarily a painter in his
pre-algorist work, Roman also experimented with new media with
showings of his programmed audio-visuals in 1967 long before
exhibiting his first fully algorist work, "The Magic Hand of
Chance", in 1982. A founding member of the algorists he is known
best for his richly colored algorithmic pen and brush drawings.
His generative software controls up to 14 pens and achieves
expressive brush strokes driving oriental brushes with a pen
plotter. His seminal paper, "Epigenetic Painting: Software as
Genotype" (ISEA, Utrecht, 1988), outlined the biological
analogues to generative art (verostko.com/epigenet.html)

[Yasmin_announcements] NL RFP Digital Arts Charrette

Yasmin readers may find this RFP from the Patching Zone of interest.

Joseph Ingoldsby
Landscape Mosaics

Patching Zone:
real projects for real people

Call for students and young artists / designers to participate in three
projects in 2010.

The Patching Zone is a unique opportunity for international and Dutch
students/artists/designers/engineers/scientists who want to expand their
experience and knowledge exponentially. The Patching Zone produces
innovative small scale sustainable projects in real situations with real
people using to the process patching method that facilitates trans
disciplinary collaboration.

Be part of the Patching Zone team and work for one or two semesters on one
of our projects. The Patching Zone will assist with looking for temporary
housing and the team members receive a modest fee.

The projects are all starting January 2010:

Digital Art Lab. location: Zoetermeer (The Hague area)
Research question: what should the new art courses for the digital
generation look like ?

* Recycle-X-. location: Dordrecht (Rotterdam area)
Research question: how can we gear up the former main street of Dordrecht
towards becoming a sustainable cultural axis of the town?

* Living Lab Rotterdam South (Rotterdam area)
Research question: how can we create a living lab node in the southern part
of Rotterdam? How can we use the lab to mature creative talent of young
people in the neighbourhood and provide training for careers in gaming,
multimedia design, dancing, rapping, music (creative industry). How can we
stimulate and support cultural entrepreneurship?

All applications will be reviewed and juried based on its (discipline
specific) quality, expertise about the field, the motivation for trans
disciplinary collaboration and its creative approach towards the theme. The
first round of selections will be done by an expert jury. In a final round
The Patching Zone core team and representatives of the involved partners
will review the pre-selected proposals for the team composition and
expertise matches.

[Yasmin_announcements] cfp: 1st International Conference on Computational Creativity

ICCC-X : 1st International Conference on Computational Creativity
Lisbon, Portugal, 7-9 January 2010
http://creative-systems.dei.uc.pt/icccx
DEADLINE: September 21, 2009

Call for Papers

Although it seems clear that creativity plays an important role
in developing intelligent computational systems, it is less clear
how to model, simulate, or evaluate creativity in such
systems. In other words, it is often easier to recognize the
presence and effect of creativity than to describe or prescribe
it. The purpose of this conference is to facilitate the exchange
of ideas on the topic of computational creativity in a
crossdisciplinary setting. It will bring together people from AI,
Cognitive Science and related areas such as Psychology,
Philosophy and the Arts who research questions related to the
notion of creativity as it relates to computational systems. This
focus on creativity in the context of computational systems has
the potential for increasing innovation in existing fields of
research as well as for defining new fields of study, including:

1. Artificially Creative Systems: development of computational
systems that produce or simulate creativity. These systems may be
inspired by human creativity or by the possibilities of
artificial systems beyond human capabilities.

2. Computational Models of Human Creativity: construction of
cognitive models of human creativity that can be the basis for
computational creativity.

3. Computational Systems for Supporting Creativity: production
of user interfaces, interaction design, decision support, and
data modeling techniques that lead to the development of
intelligent assistants that support the user in being more
creative.

Original contributions are solicited in all areas related to
Computational Creativity, including but not limited to:

a. computational paradigms for understanding creativity, including
heuristic search, analogical reasoning, and rerepresentation;

b. metrics, frameworks and formalizations for the evaluation of
creativity in computational systems;

c. perspectives on creativity, including philosophy of computational
creativity, models of human behaviour intelligent systems, and
creativity-support tools;

d. the role of creativity in learning, innovation, improvisation, and
other pursuits;

e. factors that enhance creativity, including conflict,
diversity, knowledge, intuition, reward structures, and
technologies;

f. social aspects of creativity, including the relationship
between individual and social creativity, diffusion of ideas,
collaboration and creativity, formation of creative teams, and
simulating creativity in social settings;

g. specific applications to music, language and the arts, to
architecture and design, to scientific discovery, to education
and to entertainment;

h. detailed system descriptions of creative systems, including
engineering difficulties faced, example sessions and artefacts
produced, and applications of the system. The conference will
include traditional paper presentations, will showcase the
application of computational creativity to the sciences, creative
industries and arts, and will incorporate a "show and tell"
session, which will be devoted to demonstrations of computational
systems exhibiting behaviour which would be deemed creative in
humans. In addition, the conference will provide a forum for
identifying trends and opportunities for research on
[computational] creativity and promising practices concerning the
development of creative computational systems.

Invited Speaker

Our keynote speaker will be Nancy J. Nersessian, Regents' Professor
and Professor of Cognitive Science, Georgia Institute of Technology,
USA. Nancy is an expert on creativity and innovation in scientific
processes.

Submissions

Please submit full papers of up to 10 sides in Springer LNCS format.
We are also inviting short papers of up to 5 sides in Springer LNCS
format. These can cover preliminary work, late-breaking results, short
systems descriptions and interesting musings. Submission details (via
easychair) are available on the conference website:

http://creative-systems.dei.uc.pt/icccx

Important Dates

September 21, 2009 Submission deadline
October 30, 2009 Authors' Notification
November 22, 2009 Deadline for CRCs

Re: [Yasmin_announcements] This week Yasmin moderator

Hello,

my name is Guillaume CHAPPEZ, i am a young French composer and sound artist (www.music-synthese.com)

As a musician and guitar player having followed my musical instruction in jazz and improvised music, I have been realising creations in the area of art and sound design (contemporary music, sound installations, interactive and multi-media sets and environments...)

This work on sound and staging sound is influenced by the Universe and Nature and aims to express dream- world, resolutely futuristic qualities that reach out to new territories (public spaces, techno-sciences, communication...)

Nice to meet you and let's keep in touch !

Guillaume

With the appearance of free public accessible streaming technologies
of Web 2.0 technologies, individuals and groups will have the
possibility to participate, experience and manipulate remote events in
real time. In the near future telepresence communication systems will
be incorporated within everyday life. This phenomena will dramatically
transform how we communicate and experience remote environments,
cultural events and social interaction.

This workshop/performance aims to create an atmosphere for stimulating
interaction and discussion among persons interested in Immersive
Telepresence. The workshop will include a presentation by Claudio
Rivera-Seguel about recent new media projects of interactive streaming
performances such as: OrganiRandom, DigitalChile_08 and Vision
Division.

The workshop will give an overview about different platforms used for
immersive telepresence and examine some of their interactive
methodologies. It will also introduce the audience to some of the
basics of real-time broadcasting and recording techniques in low and
high definition streaming. Finally the workshop will offer
participants the opportunity to become an active part of the
live-performance with artists from Chile and Canada, which aims to
promote the web-base relational art project called Bypass2010.

The goal of this workshop is to introduce participants to the basic
concepts and techniques of telepresence and to bringing together a
group of multidisciplinary creative professionals who are working with
or are interested in the different aspects of communication
technologies in order to experiment and collaborate in an immersive
telepresence interactive environment.

WORKSHOP: September 14th 7:00:00 PM @ Galata Perform

[Yasmin_discussions] où publier en français..?

une question pour les francophones:
je voudrais commencer à publier en français. On m'a parlé
d'archee.qc.ca. à part ça, est-ce qu'il y à d'autres journaux etc. que
vous pourriez me recommander ?

Mon travail se trouve ici : http://daniellewilde.com (texte anglais).
Je fais des « body-worn devices » - je met les technologies sur le
corps (plutôt intégrée dans les vêtement ou d'autre sort d'attache)
pour voir si une extension gesturale, sensoriale, mécanique, réalisé
avec de la technologie, pourrait nous emmener vers les expériences et
les champs expressives poétiquement élevée. Ma recherche est basée sur
la pratique. Les interfaces dont je réalisent sont destinée au
spectacle vivant, jeux, installation, ainsi que pour des utilisations
dans la rééducation physique et d'autres applications un plus
utilitaire que l'art, mais toujours créative et expressive.

Actuellement je publies dans les conférences et journaux art/
technologie, HCI, interaction design...

évidemment ça me prendra un moment pour traduire mes papiers etc pour
pouvoir éventuellement écrire directement en français à un niveau
suffisamment haut pour pouvoir publier mes textes. Mais je crois que
c'est important d'écrire dans les langues autres qu'anglais. (et c'est
un discours qui concerne cette communauté)

merci tout renseignement

In addition we will be including many visual music and related works by contemporary artists.
