9th Conference on Computation, Communication, Aesthetics & X 12 – 16 July Online
xCoAx is an exploration of the intersection where computational tools and media meet art and culture, in the form of a multi-disciplinary enquiry on aesthetics, computation, communication and the elusive X factor that connects them all.
The focus of xCoAx is on the unpredictable overlaps between the freedom of creativity and the rules of algorithms, between human nature and machine technology, with the aim to evolve towards new directions in aesthetics.
xCoAx has been an occasion for international audiences to meet and exchange ideas, in search for interdisciplinary synergies among computer scientists, artists, media practitioners, and theoreticians at the thresholds between digital arts and culture. Starting in 2013 in Bergamo, xCoAx has so far taken place in:
Bodies Online – Magdalena Festival is a women in theater festival, Suzon Fuks turned me onto it as she has performed several times. Just caught the end this time around, but want to write more about it for next iteration.

From penned diary entry…hence the date:
January 19th – Eve of Joe Biden’s Inauguration and not better time to write than now…Apprehension, delight, fear, anger, intelligent remorse.
January 21st – Do not know Tony Longson’s work, but as a member of the several network lists, it is clear that due to Covid 19 and other ailments…computer scientists, theorists, computer artists, are getting on and dying out…a whole generation of Web 1.0 users, who made enormous contributions in the very early stages of computer art, are leaving us.
“The Q Anon Shaman: The Return of the Mythic” on Rebelwisdom on YouTube, is a discussion about the gregarious man in the Viking hat who helped storm the capital. Speakers, including Erik Davis, discussed the Q Shaman primarily as a likely social phenomenon of conspiracy thinking, which apparently requires a visual culture to really grow in power, hence badges, flags, costumes, language, acronyms. This form of communication is similar to branding/advertising spin which gains momentum through “identification” with the brand. Wikipedia describes Q Anon (c.2017) as ‘a disproven and discredited far-right conspiracy theory alleging that a cabal of Satan-worshipping cannibalistic pedophiles is running a global child sex-trafficking ring and plotting against U.S. president Donald Trump, who is fighting the cabal. U.S. prosecutors have called it “a group commonly referred to as a cult”. Cults develop through the ability to create feelings and sense of belonging. They have identifying markers, signs, clothing, agreement on their ideology, and members. Mobs also form out of immediate need for attention and the power of “unity” and “identification.”
The era of Trump’s lies and his and his Administration’s quest for power has been the dominant ideological position for 4 years, plenty of time to go from Pizzagate (2016) to QAnon (2021); for followings and “followers” to flock to their screens to see what else has been posted in a disturbingly accelerated pace of development. The sense-making apparatus of civil discourse is inherently progressive and productive because it reveres the exchange of differing ideas and opinion over individual authority. The disillusioned and disingenous empowered populus enerate new “forms” of sense not based in fact or reality and believe their own ideology because it is “right” cannot see their way out of the bottle. Trump has fueled the lean, illogical, ill-informed and ignorant formation of ideas. Social media accelerated the pace of his poisonous “reach” and helped the lies (and his entranced followers) to gain unusually threatening momentum.
The QShaman was a centrally-poised figure in media from the Capitol. Colorful, humorous, raving on and seemingly in control, he acted out a fantasy of control, for what spectator?
