Keynote address - Roberto Casati
Time is of the essence: creativity, symmetry, and counterintuitive solutions
By any measure, biological evolution is astonishingly creative, but can we use its mechanism as a model for understanding cultural creativity? Creative and artistic processes are meant to generate solutions, and the success of these solutions is highly contextually constrained. According to mainstream theories, creative enginges have two abstract components: a solution generator and a solution selector. Biological evolution puts all the constraints on the selection mechanism: generation is random, waste is immense, and luckily a vast amount of time provides endless biological money. Cultural evolution cannot afford to be that generous, whereby it must incorporate constraints in the generation itself. I shall discuss a number of cases in which creativity is achieved by exploring parametric solutions that are symmetric to the ones that appear intuitive.Bio

Social events
- Welcome cocktail reception
- The welcome cocktail reception will take place on Wednesday, July 6th at the Conservatory, immediately after the end of the Opening Concert. It will start at about 20.00-20.30.
- Please note: this social event is offered to all SMC2011 registered participants.
- Conference dinner
- The conference dinner will take place on Friday, July 8th at the Antica Trattoria Zaramella, one of Padova's historical restaurants (with two forks on the 2010 Michelin Guide), just a few hundred meters away from the conference venue. The dinner will start at 20.45, following Concert 2 (stay tuned for further details).
- Please note: the price of the dinner is 50€ in addition to the conference fee (see Registration).
- Trip to Venice
-
The excursion will take place on Saturday, July 9th. The current plan is the following:
- We will leave by coach from Piazza Garibaldi (close to Palazzo Bo) immediately after the conference closing, and will reach the pier in Fusina on the mainland west of Venice.
- From there we will embark on a 40-mins boat trip through the Fusina channel and Giudecca channel, and we will land at the Zattere on the northern shore of Giudecca Channel.
- We will have a short walk around Venice and reach the Conservatory "Benedetto Marcello", to listen to the last Concert of the music program (Concert 3 for Laptop Orchestra)
- After a few free hours for all, at 22:00 (10:00pm) we will embark on the return trip. This time the boat will leave from the Riva degli Schiavoni, 300m east of San Marco square. Be there on time, or be prepared to sleep under some venetian bridge ;-)
- We will land in Fusina and go back to Padova by coach.
- Please note: the price of the trip is 20€ in addition to the conference fee (see Registration).
