The twelfth edition of the Expanded Animation Symposium, organized by the Hagenberg Campus of the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria and Ars Electronica, will take place from September 5th to 7th as part of the Ars Electronica Festival 2024.
Location: skyloft at Ars Electronica Center, Ars-Electronica-Straße 1, 4040 Linz, Austria
The Expanded Animation Conference will take place from September 5th to 7th as part of the Ars Electronica Festival 2024. This call for paper focuses on academic art papers in the field of Expanded Animation and Interactive Art that explore and experiment with visual expression at the intersection of art, and technology. This year, we will have two new scientifically oriented categories (Art Research Paper and Art Paper), where submissions will undergo a rigorous double-blind review process. All selected speakers will be given a free pass to the Ars Electronica Festival.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Submission is via Easy Chair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=expanded2024 where you will be prompted to set up a free Easy Chair account if you don’t have one already.
All submitted papers should be fully anonymized.
Please exclude any author and institution information from the author list on the title page, remove author information from all paper headers, and remove any clues that would directly identify any of the authors. Please anonymize your submission file. Please also check that your PDF creator programs did not include author information in the metadata.
Citations of your own published work (including online) should be in the third person, in a manner that is not traceable to the identity of the authors. For example, the wording “in [4], Valley and Sea have proposed…” is acceptable, whereas “in [4], we have proposed…” is not. (Where reference [4] is listed explicitly as “Valley, D. and Sea, A., Detecting Valley and Sea, In Proc. XYZ ’24, 901–911.”)
Please refrain from mentioning the name of your institution in the study approval statement. For example, do not say, “Our study was approved by the IRB board at the University of Arts,” as that reveals your university’s name.
Please do not include an “acknowledgments” section in the submission. If your Art Paper is accepted, you will submit a revised version that identifies you and your co-authors, your affiliations, and any appropriate acknowledgments.”
You are invited to submit in the single-column paper format using the ACM master template: https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template
Please use the file “sample-sigconf-authordraft.tex”, which you find within the downloaded template.
All selected papers will be included in a proceedings document published at Ars Electronica Archive and Expanded Animation.

The symposium Expanded Animation began in 2013 and offered a first approach to the expanding field of computer animation. It has since become an established part of the Ars Electronica Animation Festival and the international competition Prix Ars Electronica Computer Animation. Every year under an overarching theme, the symposium has researched the field of technology, art, animation, and aesthetics, investigated the collapsing boundaries in digital animation, and explored positions and future trends. As with the first conferences on computer animation at Ars Electronica in the 1980s, practice and theory are equally important. The richly illustrated publication Expanded Animation: Mapping an Unlimited Landscape features contributions from speakers and artists from the past six years and presents an overview of the prize winners in prix category Computer Animation from 2011 to 2018.
