Call for artworks
EMOTIONS on the PLANET EARTH
_Motivation_
In the context of ESSEM 2013 Workshop on Emotion and Sentiment in Social and Expressive Media we propose a call for artworks.
Although sentiment analysis and emotion detection have been trending topics since a while, not enough emphasis has been placed so far on social and expressive media.Thelatter,inparticular,playakey role in applicative fields related to creativity, its expressions and outcomes, such as figurative arts, music or drama. In such fields, the advent of digital social media has brought about new paradigms of interactions that foster first-person engagement and crowdsourcing content creation: the subjective and expressive dimensions move to the foreground, opening the way to the emergence of an affective component within a dynamic corpus of contents – created or enriched by users.
Artistic creation and performance seems to be a very interesting testbed for cross- validating and possibly integrating approaches, models and tools for automatically analyzing and generating emotion and sentiment. In fact, in such context the social and subjective dimension naturally emerges, think for instance to feedbacks by visitors of a real or virtual art exhibition, or to the audience-oeuvre (or audience- performance) interaction. Moreover, expressive features of the artistic performance can provide an interesting case study for evaluating systems for automatic generation of emotional behaviors.
