“…My own work as a generative artist is characterised by attributes of creative computing such 'endlessly fluctuating mix of divergent and convergent thinking', and numerous moves back and forth between activities of 'motivation, ideation, implementation and operation' (Hugill & Yang 2013). In that case, any step in a production process that is a non-reversible transformation inhibits this flow.…”

This article addresses the research agenda of creative computing from the perspective of a generative artist/composer, someone for whom processes of software creation and art creation inseparably intertwine. Using his audiovisual composition Clonal Colonies (2011) as a case study, the author addresses the dynamic of generative artistic creation when it is a process of discovery and dialog with artistcreated, often unpredictable software systems. He provides technical specifics regarding his use of his Variable-Coupled Map Networks approach for music and his Brownian Doughnut Warper visual algorithm. Finally, he proposes a set of principles applicable to the creation of generative artwork, considers how tools and systems could better support such work, and proposes that creative computing research also focus on helping creatives surmount the fundamental personal challenges encountered in creative work of all types.

“…Creative Computing is being discussed more widely in last few years, hoping to produce new, innovative and valuable products [44], which is mainly happening in software. Creative Computing seeks to reconcile the objective precision of computer systems (mathesis) with the subjective ambiguity of human creativity (aethesis) [45]. As a newly aroused emerging research field, in Creative Computing, there are many promising research directions have been studied [29,30,31,32], such as creative design, creative requirement engineering, creative collaboration, and electronic learning.…”

“…As a newly aroused emerging research field, in Creative Computing, there are many promising research directions have been studied [29,30,31,32], such as creative design, creative requirement engineering, creative collaboration, and electronic learning. One research objective in Creative Computing is to find the approach to get creativity and to realise it [44,45]. For example, Hendler and Hugill [46] developed a new Web engine, the Syzygy Surfer, which aims to induce a search/browsing experience that is more creative than traditional search.…”

Today, idea generation is an extremely important activity for both academic researchers and industrial groups. A considerable number of applications and research studies have been made in the past years in order to increase the effectiveness of idea making process. However, there is lack of efforts on making machine generated ideas novel, surprising and valuable. This research uses concept machine ideation for machinery creative ideas generation and aims to discuss the realistic of bespoke machines ideation, which is simplified as bespoke ideation in the main text. After carefully reviewed the current situation of human ideation, it raises challenge issue to be addressed in this paper. Then, it reviews representative human ideation cases and summarises an overview process for general human ideation. Moreover, it simulates the overview process into a machine ideation process. Next, related concepts and techniques are discussed including Creative Computing, new idea, and creativity. Based on the discussions and the simulated machine ideation process, this paper provides a Creative Computing method to achieve bespoke ideation. Then, detailed techniques and rules that needed to be designed and applied are planned and explained for all the phases to fulfil the machine ideation approach as bespoke approach. Furthermore, a prototype of Research Topics Generation System (RTGS) is developed as a bespoke ideation system to illustrate the proposed approach as well as prove the approach's feasibility, in which a set of new research topics on a designated domain is generated to inspire further studies. The main contribution of this paper is the proposed bespoke ideation approach, by which machine ideation is possible to be achieved in reality.

“…With the almost ubiquitous availability of computing devices nowadays, creativity and computing often become intermixed. Creative computing may be said to be the use of computation in a novel, elegant, and perhaps artistic way, whereas computational creativity may be seen as using computers to achieve a creative result (Hugill & Yang 2013). The former is more about the process whereas the latter is more concerned with the result.…”

Today's society is increasingly digitalised, with mobile smartphones being routinely carried and used by a significant percentage of the population. This provides an augmented experience for the individual that does not depend on their geographical separation with respect to their community of friends and other contacts. This changes the nature of relationships between people. Individuals may live in a "digital bubble", close to others physically, but far away from them in their digital world. More specifically, digital images can be generated and shared with ever greater ease. Sometimes the digital image takes on an important part of the individual's experience of reality. This paper explores examples of the phenomenon, within the context of the arts in particular and culture in general. We also consider the assortment of terms used in a variety of ways by researchers in different fields with regard to our ever more digital society, such as digitalism, digitality, digitalisation, digital culture, digital philosophy, etc. We survey these terms, exploring them from alternative viewpoints, including sociological and philosophical aspects, and attempt to pinpoint some of these terms more precisely, especially in a cultural and artistic context.
