An Enactive Model of Creativity for Computational Collaboration and Co-creation (original) (raw)

The modern landscape of computing has rapidly evolved with breakthroughs in new input modalities and interaction designs, but the fundamental model of humans giving commands to computers is still largely dominant. A small but growing number of projects in the computational creativity fi eld are beginning to study and build creative computers that are able to collaborate with human users as partners by simulating, to various degrees, the collaboration that naturally occurs between humans in creative domains . If this endeavor proves successful, the implications for HCI and the fi eld of computing in general could be signifi cant. Creative computers could understand and work alongside humans in a new hybrid form of human-computer co-creativity that could inspire, motivate, and perhaps even teach creativity to human users through collaboration.
