This year's featured topic is Imaging Sound.

The expression is meant to couple (moving) image and sound via the many expressive and technological relations that the two entertain in audio-visual and multimedia contexts.

XXIII Colloquium on Music Informatics

This event will take place in Turin, from June 22nd to June 24th. 

The theme of the 2020 edition focuses on one of the most intimate and ineffable aspects of sound and music, that is their evocative power. In fact, they are able to trigger processes within the human being by recalling images, concepts and mnemonic associations, and giving rise to emotions, illusions and synesthesia, as well as creating pervasive and immersive virtual environments.

The XXIII Colloquium on Music Informatics focuses on the deepest cognitive and psychological reflexes caused by listening, thus investigating the ambiguity and fragility, but also the perceptive stability of sonic material. This is relevant not only for musical expression and its languages, but also for today’s and future daily scenarios populated by people, artifacts and virtual representations, whose soundscape can be imagined and designed in detail.
