Complexity Theory of Art and Music (COART)

The First International Conference on Complex Sciences: Theory and Applications (COMPLEX’2009) will be held in Shanghai, China, on 23-25 February, 2009. You are cordially invited to submit a paper to our Satellite Workshop "COMPLEXITY THEORY OF ART AND MUSIC" co-located with COMPLEX’2009.

Recent studies have revealed in many artworks and pieces of music such features of complex systems as power law, small-world phenomenon, and so on. It is clear that all features of artworks and music (at least what have passed check by time) should obey to the principles of the brain functioning, for instance, to the principles of patterns recognition. The aim of this satellite workshop is to investigate how ubiquitous and universal are complex properties in art and music and try to understand the relations of art and music features with the brain working.
