The dual meaning of this title hints towards an understanding of the machine as a performing agent in a human-machine partnership. By putting the emphasis on creative human-machine partnerships in performative contexts, this theme aims to encourage artistic and scientific contributions that deal with the different ways in which musicianship, authorship and performership are challenged, extended and redefined in the era of AI.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div># Call for Papers</div><div><br></div><div>We invite submissions of full papers, work-in-progress papers and demos on topics related to AI Music Creativity. For the first time, our call for papers includes a “piece and paper” category, for papers linked with a music submission.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div># Call for Music</div><div><br></div><div>We invite artistic submissions that deal with topics related to AI music creativity, involving machines, machine learning and dealing with topics related to agency. We especially encourage and promote submissions that address AI from diverse technical and non-technical as well as critical angles with regard to questions of gender, performance, ecology and aesthetics.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div># Call for Workshops and Tutorials</div><div><br></div><div>We welcome the submission of workshop and tutorial proposals related to the conference topics.
