Revisiting creative behaviour as an epistemic process: lessons from 12 computational artists & designers
Abstract
In this article, we investigate creative behavior among computational artists and designers, in order to improve our understanding of the interaction mechanisms that they rely on to identify and appropriate the mediating properties of code and computational representations. We conducted an observational study with 12 computational artists and designers working with visual media. The results lead us to analyze creative behavior as an epistemic process, whereby agents generate knowledge about their medium through epistemic actions, and produce their medium by externalizing this knowledge into epistemic artifacts. We discuss the implications of these findings for the design and evaluation of interactive systems for creativity.
