Creative Partnerships with Technology: How Creativity Is Enhanced Through Interactions with Generative Computational Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper discusses emerging creative practices that involve interacting with generative computational systems, and the effect of such cybernetic interactions on our conceptions of creativity and agency. As computing systems have become more powerful in recent years, real time interaction with ‘intelligent’ computational processes and models has emerged as a basis for innovative creative practices. Examples of these practices include interactive digital media installations, generative art works, live coding performances, virtual theatre, interactive cinema, and adaptive processes in computer games. In these types of activities computational systems have assumed a significant level of agency, or autonomy, that provoke questions about shared authorship and originality that are redefining our relationship with technologies and prompting new questions about human capabilities, values and the meaning of productive activities. .

Applying Core Interaction Design Principles to Computational Creativity
If we understand computational creativity (CC) as ultimately leading to useful interactive systems, then interaction design (ID) is a relevant body of theory with which to develop and test systems. Yet by engaging with complex and opaque systems, CC appears to break core ID wisdom, which preferences the comprehensibility of the system to users. We discuss core ID principles and ask how we can b...
متن کاملEmbracing the Bias of the Machine: Exploring Non-Human Fitness Functions
Autonomous aesthetic evaluation is the Holy Grail of generative music, and one of the great challenges of computational creativity. Unlike most other computational activities, there is no notion of optimality in evaluating creative output: there are subjective impressions involved, and framing obviously plays a big role. When developing metacreative systems, a purely objective fitness function ...
متن کاملComputational Creativity through a Gap A Position Paper for the Dagstuhl Seminar 12-17.07.09 on Computational Creativity
A significant aspect of creativity is its elusive mystery. Unlike pure novelty or pure originality and adaptability, creative ideas have an aura of something which is unanticipated, yet, in a way not completely surprising, but providing insight into familiar ideas. This position paper wishes to focus on this mysterious aspect of creativity and discusses uncertainty and the creative gap as aspec...
متن کاملComputational Creativity Theory: Inspirations behind the FACE and the IDEA models
We introduce two descriptive models for evaluating creative software; the FACE model, which describes creative acts performed by software in terms of tuples of generative acts, and the IDEA model, which describes how such creative acts can have an impact upon an audience. We show how these models have been inspired both by ideas in the psychology of creativity and by an analysis of acts of huma...
متن کاملA Big Data Approach to Computational Creativity
Computational creativity is an emerging branch of artificial intelligence that places computers in the center of the creative process. Broadly, creativity involves a generative step to produce many ideas and a selective step to determine the ones that are the best. Many previous attempts at computational creativity, however, have not been able to achieve a valid selective step. This work shows ...
