DDCMC19: International Conference on Dance Data, Cognition, and Multimodal Communication FCSH - Universidade Nova de Lisboa Lisboa, Portugal, September 19-21, 2019

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