Call for Papers

Recent advances brought by AI-Generated Content (AIGC) have been an innovative engine for digital content generation, drawing more and more attention from both academia and industry. Across creative fields, AI has sparked new genres and experimentations in painting, music, film, storytelling, fashion and design. Researchers explore the concept of co-creation with AI systems as well as the ethical implications of AI generated images and texts. AI has been applied to art historical research and media studies. The aesthetic value of AI generated content and AI’s impact on art appreciation have also been a contended subject in recent scholarship. AI has not only exhibited creative potential, but also stimulated research from diverse perspectives of neuroscience, cognitive science, psychology, literature, art history, media and communication studies. Despite all these promising features of AI for Art, we still have to face the many challenges such as the biases in AI models, lack of transparency and explainability in algorithms, and copyright issues of training data and AI art works.

This is the 7^th AIART workshop to be held in conjunction with ICME 2025 in Nantes, France, and it aims to bring forward cutting-edge technologies and most recent advances in the area of AI art as well as perspectives from neuroscience, cognitive science, psychology, literature, art history, media and communication studies.

The theme topic of AIART 2025 will be AI and Human Co-creativity. We plan to invite 5 keynote speakers to present their insightful perspectives on AI art.

We sincerely invite high-quality papers presenting or addressing issues related to AI art, including but not limited to the following topics:

• Affective computing for AI Art
• AI in media studies
• AI, literature, and art
• AI and social justice
• Theory and practice of AI creativity
• Neuroscience, cognitive science and psychology for AI Art
• AI Art for metaverse
• AI for painting generation
• AI for 3D content generation
• AI for cultural heritage
• AI for sound synthesis, music composition, performance, and instrument design
• AI for poem composing and synthesis
• AI for typography and graphic design
• AI for fashion, makeup, and virtual hosting
• AI for multimodal and cross-modal art generation
• AI for art style transfer
• AI for aesthetics understanding, analysis, assessment and prediction
• Authentication and copyright issues of AI artworks

Additionally, Best Paper Award will be given.

AIART 2025 is also launching a demo track for artists to showcase their creative artworks in the form of in-person art gallery. The demo track will provide a great opportunity for people to experience interactive artworks and communicate creative ideas. The submission guideline for the demo track follows that of the main ICME conference: https://2025.ieeeicme.org/author-information-and-submission-instructions/.
