Creative computing

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Creative computing covers the interdisciplinary area at the cross-over of the creative arts and computing. Issues of creativity include knowledge discovery, for example.^[1]

Overview

[edit]

The International Journal of Creative Computing describes creative computing as follows:^[2]

Creative computing refers to a meta-technology to coalesce knowledge in computing and other disciplines. People use computers as aids to creativity and creative-computing topics may reshape the world as we know it. Applications are seen in arts, entertainment/games, mobile applications, multimedia, product/web design and other interactive systems.

Creative computing is interdisciplinary in nature and topics relating to it include applications, development method, evaluation, modeling, philosophy, principles, support environment, and theory.^[2]

The term "creative computing" is used both in the United Kingdom and the United States (e.g., at Harvard University and MIT).^[3]^[4]
