The 10thInternationalSymposium on SmartGraphics was held during June 24- 26, 2010 in Ban?, Alberta, Canada. Smart Graphics brings together researchers and practitioners from the ?elds of computer graphics, arti?cial intelligence, cognitive science, graphic design and ?ne art. In response to the overwhelming success of Smart Graphics' conception as a AAAI Spring Symposium in 2000, its organizers decided to turn it into a self-contained event. Since then, annual Smart Graphics symposia have been held internationally, in such diverse locations as Heidelberg, Kyoto, Vancouver, Rennes, and most recently in 2009 in Salamanca, Spain, where Smart Gra- ics was intertwined with the 5th International Arts Festival of Castilla y Leon. Connecting last year's symposium to Salamanca's arts festival intensi?ed the creative ?avor of the Smart Graphics sessions, and sparked lively debate and discussion during the course of the symposium, inspiring exploration of the - terconnected relationships between the disciplines of arts and sciences. Building upon the momentum begun last year,it wassuggestedthat the 2010symposium would place speci?c emphasis on the integrationof scienti?c researchand digital media technology into the design of aesthetic experience and artistic practice.In 2010 we had the opportunity to collaborate with the Ban? New Media Institute to present the symposium at Canada's renowned Ban? Centre, a - cility known worldwide for its creative excellence in arts and culture research, education and practice.
