*Submission Deadline: September 10, 2020*

The 1st International Workshop on Multimodal Affect and Aesthetic
Experience will be held *virtually* as part of the 22nd ACM International
Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI) 2020. The term “aesthetic
experience” corresponds to the inner state of a person exposed to form and
content of artistic objects. Exploring certain aesthetic values of artistic
objects, as well as interpreting the aesthetic experience of people when
exposed to art can contribute towards understanding (a) art and (b)
people’s affective reactions to artwork. Focusing on different types of
artistic content, such as movies, music, urban art and other artwork, the
goal of this workshop is to enhance the interdisciplinary collaboration
between affective computing and aesthetics researchers. The goal of this
workshop is to connect researchers and advance the state of the art in the
affective computing and aesthetics research areas.

*Topics*
Multimodal data collection in response to artistic objects
Emotions and aesthetic experience
Qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the experience and absorption of
aesthetic values
Analysis of physiological and behavioural signals captured during aesthetic
experience
Assessment of affective states in response to movies, music, and other
artwork
Content analysis of artistic objects (movies, music, paintings, games, etc.)
Intrapersonal and interpersonal correlation of multimodal responses during
aesthetic experience
Neuroaesthetics for studying the underlying brain mechanisms and sensory,
reward, emotional neural processes related to aesthetics
Human-habitat interaction and its relation to human content and well-being

*Papers*
We invite the submission of papers (max 8 pages), short papers and demos
(max 4 pages) and abstracts (max 1 page). References do not count towards
the page limit. All papers can have additional pages beyond their page
limits that are used exclusively for references.

According to the ICMI 2018 guidelines, the reviewing will be double blind,
so submissions should be anonymous: do not include the authors’ names,
affiliations or any clearly identifiable information in the paper. It is
appropriate to cite past work of the authors if these citations are treated
like any other (e.g., “Smith approached this problem by….”) - omit
references only if it would be obviously identifying the authors. Submitted
papers should conform to the ACM publication format. For templates and
examples, please here. Note: Please use the latest ACM_SigConf format for
both short and long paper submissions. *The workshop proceedings will be
published in the ACM Digital Library.*
