Machines are learning music and art: approaches to technology from music and arts.

16-17 June 2025, Barcelona.
Call for Papers

V Doctoral studies conference in art and musicology, Department of Art History and Musicology, Autonomous University of Barcelona.

The fifth edition of the Autonomous University of Barcelona Conference on Doctoral Studies in Art and Musicology will focus on the use of technology in music and art history research. The goal is to illustrate the use of these new tools, which are allied to researchers in the humanities, while showing how they are combined with more traditional methodologies. It is also intended to promote the debate around the confluence of new approaches that may derive from these uses with other more canonical ones, in the present and future of studies in history of art and musicology.

Technological advancements, particularly in the field of artificial intelligence, have enabled the development of specific instruments that can support research in the twenty-first century, in which transdisciplinary collaboration must be promoted while responding to new academic needs in humanities study. Knowing and sharing tools, problems, challenges, and technological opportunities is crucial for the successful development of research with new instruments that are still in development. What should human-machine collaboration look like to encourage the creation of new forms of research in arts and music? Which are their limitations? Knowing where we are and which are the best paths to take is vital to rethink research in musicology and art history.

We welcome proposals for presentations (twenty minutes plus ten minutes for Q&A) from doctoral students enrolled in studies preferably in art history or musicology, but also in different humanities specialties and other disciplines that raise specific analysis topics linked to the theme and objectives expressed in this proposal.

The following thematic axes are proposed as the backbone of the Conference:

Uses of technology for creation in music and arts.

Uses of technology for research in music and arts.

Opportunities, challenges, problems, in general consequences of collaboration between humans and machines to create or research in music and arts.

The proposals must be sent to  before the closing of the abstract reception (deadline: March 30, 2025). The decision of the committee on the acceptance of proposals will be communicated personally from May 15th 2025.

For participants who request it before the conference is held, acceptance certificates will be prepared. Furthermore, every informant will be given, by default, a certificate of participation.
