CALL FOR EXTENDED ABSTRACTS

The 18th DLSU Arts Congress (DAC) seeks to promote a space that welcomes everyone to explore their artistic talents or potential, supported by an interdisciplinary framework. Led this year by The Academy, in collaboration with the College of Computer Studies, College of Science, Cultural Arts Office, The Libraries, and The Museum, it calls for papers that deal with the advances in science and technology as they offer new forms of collaborative human-to-human and human-to-AI practices that can fuel creativity and inspire innovation in Technology, the Sciences, and the Arts and Humanities. How has art transformed across disciplines? What forms of creative expressions can we glean from science and technology? How do we develop the whole person through creativity? How do we utilize science and technology to enhance artistic engagements in the AI era? How do AI engagements affect our culture and nature? How do we maintain an ethical framework for the Arts amidst the possibilities offered by science and technology?
