Call for submissions | ||||
Call for submissions: special issue of the journal Artificial Life, MIT Press. This unique special issue connects the themes and methods of Artificial Life with the wider areas of art and creativity, and the field's implications for culture. It is an unusual but exciting step for a scientific journal to support a special issue of this nature. This certainly sits well with Artificial Life's interdisciplinary approach and provides a unique opportunity to draw together works that sit between the formally established disciplines. The intention is for the special issue to be of broad and long-lasting appeal, not just to regular readers of the Artificial Life journal, but to readers engaging with other sciences, and with the arts and humanities. |
