THIRD ITERATION is the third international conference on generative systems in the electronic arts. It investigates three major themes – humancomputer creativity, generative meaning systems, and the computational sublime. Following on from First Iteration (1999) and Second Iteration (2001), this year’s conference will be held in Melbourne, Australia.
