Creativity, Cognition, and Computation
Abstract
This talk will focus on the relationship between the practice of programming and creative expression within the context of performance. It will borrow from the canonical domains of improvisational theatre, pretend play, and movement studies as lenses for discussing the relationship between creative practice, computation, and cognition in both humans and machines. Several prototypes of computational systems that work within these domains will be presented that illustrate this relationship and highlight future challenges in digital performance
