Opening event:
The opening of xCoAx 2021 will take place on Zoom on July 12th at 6PM CEST. The Organising Committee will be extremely happy to welcome you there to meet, greet, network, and exchange impressions and opinions. This will also be the moment when all content is made available online.

Papers have been organised as follows:
There are 6 different sessions, where papers with stimulating connections and overlaps were put together. The authors were invited to record a 15-minute presentation of their work. There will be Q&A panels with the audience at times and in Zoom sessions as indicated in the Program (available soon). You can access all the material: abstracts, papers in PDF format and video presentations by accessing xCoAx’s website at 2021.xcoax.org and clicking on “Paper Sessions” in the navigation menu (available July 12). You can join the discussion on Twitter by replying to the tweet at the end of each session page.

Artworks have been organised as follows:
The xCoAx 2021 website features a page for each artwork that was selected for the exhibition, where the artists present their work with visual documentation, an abstract, a prerecorded artist talk and other media assets. All of the artwork presentations will be streamed on YouTube, and there will be two roundtables in Zoom with the artists and audience. You can access each artwork’s page by accessing xCoAx’s website at 2021.xcoax.org and clicking on “Exhibition” in the navigation menu (available July 12).

The Doctoral Symposium has been organised as follows:
Doctoral students whose research proposals were accepted were invited to a discussion and feedback session with our chairs Angela Ferraiolo and Marko Ciciliani. The symposium has usually taken place in a more secluded part of xCoAx, and we kept with this tradition by not recording the online session to allow for a more relaxed environment where to exchange opinions and give advice. However, the xCoAx 2021 website features a page with all the research proposals discussed during the symposium, which you can access by going to xCoAx’s website at 2021.xcoax.org and clicking on “Doctoral Symposium” in the navigation menu (available July 12).
