The 4th edition of the Computer Art Congress includes the Composite Session (summer 2014) of the Caiia-HUBB of the Planetary collegium, coordinated by Roy Ascott, and the 5th edition of the event Hiperorgânicos, promoted by NANO Lab which is coordinated by Carlos Augusto (Guto) Nóbrega and Maria Luiza (Malu) Fragoso. Since September 2010 NANO Ƥ ǡơ in the thematic area of hybrid-natures. The motivation of this research Lab is to consolidate a ƪ and dialogical exchanges. Computer Art began its development by the 50’s of the last century and the general thought was that it would mature only by the next millennium. By the 90’s the Internet, the WWW, and the development of interactive interfaces changed the possibilities to go from static to a dynamic and totally new multidimensional art form based on feedback, processes, multiplicity and improvisation. The spreading of digital cultural practices adds to these debates, feeding either the technophobia or techno lovers points of view, with many paradoxes. The arts and sciences considered by many as apparently dichotomous approaches also bring fuel to this debate. Deeply connected with mathematics, sciences, logic and highly experimental speculations, Ƥ ǡ demystifying the sacred reverence that the mainstream ART community has cultivated. Art critics and theorists evaluating such art with the canonical parameters of traditional art forms, maybe unaware of the complexities related with such background, have overlooked its importance. However this situation has changed with the popularity of computer technologies, its transdisciplinary and pervasive characteristics, accessible prices, the way it expands sensory experiences, the emergence of cyberspace and cyber culture, and the development of IDEs (Interface Development Environment) by artists. These facts bring radical changes within the Ƥǡ ƤǤ CAC. 4 came to Rio de Janeiro under the coordination of Malu Fragoso and Tania Fraga, who participates in CAC since the 2nd edition in Mexico (2008). Promoting this reunion at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro brings about important issues, such as the recognition of the serious research in Computer Art developed in Brazil since the ‘50s. In the last decade we acknowledge in Brazil, as in other countries, the blooming educational programs focusing on the intersection between art, technology and computing at universities, cultural centers, governmental projects, ǤƤ have dedicated their work to the creation of independent garage-labs or fablabs. Even the Ƥ vi FOREWORD that seemed to be conceptually separated for decades. Most of the work presented at the 5th Hiperorgânicos was possible because of the partnership between the School of Fine Arts and the Faculty of Architecture, through the promotion of NANO Lab and LAMO3D and the interaction of our graduate and undergraduate students. ƤƤǦ ƪ Ǥǡ have the 4th Computer Art Congress held in Brazil, with the participation of the Planetary Collegium, within one of its most respected institution, the School of Fine Arts of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, is already bringing incentives to all of us artists and researchers. The opportunity to share artistic proposals and ideas with such selected group is already an ǡ ƪ in Brazil. vii CONFERENCE ORGANIZATION Local Congress Convenor/Chairman Maria Luiza (Malu) P. G.
