Rather than seeing a distinction between theoretical discourse and the science of building Vitruvius, a Roman architect and engineer active in the 1st century BC, argued convincingly for the breadth of knowledge necessary to practice architecture with authority, that "knowledge is the child of practice and theory". The crux of his argument is that a sufficient breadth of training, to appreciate...

78 This paper considers the ethical aspects of co-producing visual representations of communities experiencing economic deprivation. It focuses on one of five case studies that are part of a UK-wide research project that is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council. The research broadly aims to explore how arts-based approaches can enable communities to express health and wellbeing iss...

We describe the FloWr framework for implementing creative systems as scripts over processes and manipulated visually as flowcharts. FloWr has been specifically developed to be able to automatically optimise, alter and ultimately generate novel flowcharts, thus innovating at process level. We describe the fundamental architecture of the framework and provide examples of creative systems which ha...

This article is concerned with investigating some aspects of the usefulness of using genetic algorithms (GAs) for musical composition and to highlight some of their limitations. It also demonstrates the limited amount of work done so far in examining the output of GAs used in creative applications, rather than simply describing the architecture and functionality of such an algorithm, and the li...

The expressive and creative affordances of an interface are difficult to evaluate, particularly with quantitative methods. However, rigorous qualitative methods do exist and can be used to investigate such topics. We present a methodology based around user studies involving Discourse Analysis of speech. We also present an example of the methodology in use: we evaluate a musical interface which ...

We constantly see art and technology intertwined in digital art, net-art, creative coding and current dialogues within visual culture. Fully opening to this relationship, MozEx is an art exhibition with a 21st-century twist. Curated by the digital learning teams at both the Tate and the V&A in 2016 (in collaboration with the Mozilla Foundation and Mozilla Festival), it included fifty-four dynam...

This chapter seeks to respond to these questions putting forward a three-dimensional model in which creative practice is seen as a product of the dynamic interplay between the teacher’s personal qualities, the pedag...

Although cognitive studies have reported that exemplars negatively influence people’s creativity, they have not focused on the effect of varying the type of exemplar. In this study, we examined how copying incomprehensible exemplars affects students’ creative drawing ability. Participants who had copied these types of picture produced more creative drawings than those who had not copied them. P...
