mosAIcs & brAIns : the computational aesthetics of mosaic art

The Incubator for Transdisciplinary Futures at Washington University in St. Louis invites you to join an exciting lineup of leaders in the field to address the synergy between art, aesthetics, and AI when applied to contemporary mosaic art. The symposium's objective is to encourage the fusion of (i) contemporary mosaic art, (ii) established computational aesthetics paradigms, and (iii) novel opportunities arising from computational creativity. We invite participants to envision links between their present research and one or more of the three listed scholarly directions.

Center for Quantum Leaps Fall Town Hall

The town hall will be an opportunity to build new collaborations between biomedical research and quantum sensing. Quantum sensing opens new potential to measure tiny changes in physical parameters at atomic and molecular scales. There will be a brief overview of the current projects and capabilities of the Center for Quantum Leaps, with the most time reserved for biomedical researchers to describe measurements that they would like to make in their systems but that are beyond the grasp of current techniques.
