Computational Artistic Creativity and its Evaluation

Authors: David Brown

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 9291, Computational Creativity: An Interdisciplinary Approach (2009)

Abstract

For artistic creativity, in comparison to design creativity, requirements may not exist, and constraints on the artifact (the artistic “product”) are usually looser or absent. Many computational creativity systems produce artistic artifacts, but such results can be judged in a variety of ways: by a variety of artistic standards or by the perceiver’s "taste", for example. There is less chance of a generated artifact being judged in a single, clear and concrete fashion, so the standards may be softer and perhaps easier to satisfy: certainly harder to make computational. With regard to taste, Boden (1994) quotes, "I don’t know anything about art, but I know what I like”. If this were true in general, then there would be as many tests of the creativity of an artifact as there are people!

Notes from the Discussion Group on "Evaluation"

Authors: David Brown

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 9291, Computational Creativity: An Interdisciplinary Approach (2009)

Abstract

Group Members: Harold Cohen, Maggie Boden, Dave Brown, Paul Brown, Oliver Deussen, Philip Galanter. These notes represent approximately what was discussed by the group members over a period of several hours over two days. There has been some attempt to organize the material, but little attempt to expand it to make it coherent—we rambled, so do the notes. The notes, and this report, were recorded, organized, and elaborated into this form by Dave Brown.
