AVI 2026
18th International Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces, 8th-12th June 2026, Venice

"Interactive Creativity: Agencies, Interfaces, and Ethics"

AVI 2026

Since its first edition in 1992, AVI has become an influential space for encounters among scholars and practitioners interested in interfaces, interactions, and experiences.
Rooted in pioneering research on visual interfaces characterized by a distinctive attention to the human factor, the conference has evolved across the different waves of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI).
It has addressed the pragmatic and hedonic needs of heterogeneous groups of users up to the current challenge of self-actualization. Creativity is a core behavior that leads to the realization of a person’s full potential and the explosion of generative AI presents both opportunities and challenges to human creativity. They address fundamental issues related to agencies, interfaces, and ethics

AVI 2026 will take place in San Servolo, a small island of Venice. This delicate and fragile ecosystem provides the ideal venue to reflect, reframe, and speculate about creative solutions to more sustainable and rewarding technological futures. AVI is an International Conference considering the nationality of participants, authors, and organizing committees. However, it has always taken place in Italy, thus complementing a strong and diverse research programme with carefully selected cultural and social activities alongside a distinct sense of hospitality and conviviality.

The conference is held under the patronage of Ca’ Foscari University of Venice and the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy.
