MOCO is the International Workshop on movement and computing. MOCO aims to gather academics and practitioners interested in the computational study, modelling, representation, segmentation, recognition, classification, or generation of movement information. MOCO is positioned within emerging interdisciplinary domains between art &amp; science.
The workshop references the challenge of representing embodied movement knowledge within computational models, yet it also celebrates the inherent expression available within movement as a language. While human movement itself focuses on bodily experience, developing computational models for movement requires abstraction and representation of lived embodied cognition. Selecting appropriate models between movement and its rich personal and cultural meanings remains a challenge in movement interaction research.
Many fields, including Interaction Design, HCI, Education and Machine Learning have been inspired by recent developments within Neuroscience validating the primacy of movement in cognitive development and human intelligence. This has spawned a growing interest in experiential principles of movement awareness and mindfulness, while simultaneously fueling the need for developing computational models that can describe movement intelligence with greater rigour. This conference seeks to explore an equal and richly nuanced epistemological partnership between movement experience and movement cognition and computational representation.
MOCO 2017 will take place at Goldsmiths, University of London, from the 28th to the 30th of June, and will feature engaging paper presentations, artistic, dance, and music performances from across various disciplines, and a variety of workshops, demos, and activities aimed at researchers and practitioners alike. 
Please note that a special performance evening and a dinner event will both take place on 29th June, and that the dinner and performance events are ticketed separately.
