I took a look at the art papers in SIGGRAPH Asia 2024 primarily due to the unusual preface and, to a lesser extent, the much lower (and thus more precious) number (28 only!) and acceptance rate (15.9%) than the technical papers program.
Unlike the technical papers which have clearer review criteria (novelty, importance, utility, readability, reproducibility, ethics, etc.), I agree with the art papers chair that it is not clear what is an art paper, not least a good one. I found some of the papers interesting in the technical or philosophical perspectives, while some others left me scratching my head. But I guess this is what art is in general – more about expressing/sharing novel viewpoints/experiences than scientific discoveries or practical utilities.
