This interdisciplinary volume introduces new theories and ideas on
creativity from the perspectives of science and art. Featuring
contributions from leading researchers, theorists and artists
working in artificial intelligence, generative art, creative
computing, music composition, and cybernetics, the book examines
the relationship between computation and creativity from both
analytic and practical perspectives. Each contributor describes
innovative new ways creativity can be understood through, and
inspired by, computers. The book tackles critical philosophical
questions and discusses the major issues raised by computational
creativity, including: whether a computer can exhibit creativity
independently of its creator; what kinds of creativity are possible
in light of our knowledge from computational simulation, artificial
intelligence, evolutionary theory and information theory; and
whether we can begin to automate the evaluation of aesthetics and
creativity in silico. These important, often controversial
questions are contextualised by current thinking in computational
creative arts practice. Leading artistic practitioners discuss
their approaches to working creatively with computational systems
in a diverse array of media, including music, sound art, visual
art, and interactivity. The volume also includes a comprehensive
review of computational aesthetic evaluation and judgement
research, alongside discussion and insights from pioneering artists
working with computation as a creative medium over the last fifty
years. A distinguishing feature of this volume is that it explains
and grounds new theoretical ideas on creativity through practical
applications and creative practice. Computers and Creativity will
appeal to theorists, researchers in artificial intelligence,
generative and evolutionary computing, practicing artists and
musicians, students and any reader generally interested in
understanding how computers can impact upon creativity. It bridges
concepts from computer science, psychology, neuroscience, visual
art, music and philosophy in an accessible way, illustrating how
computers are fundamentally changing what we can imagine and
create, and how we might shape the creativity of the future.
