ACM Creativity & Cognition 2021 call for participation (please forward widely)

[Ellen Do]

Dear all

The 13th ACM conference on Creativity & Cognition will be held in Venice, Italy on the Isola San Servolo on June 21-24, 2021. Conference website: https://cc.acm.org/2021/  In light of the current COVID-19 pandemic, the event is expected to take place face-to-face and/or through virtual participation if needed.

C&C brings together artists, scientists, designers, educators, and researchers to more deeply understand how people engage individually and socially in creative processes and how computation and other technology can affect creative outcomes.

C&C 2021 invites papers, pictorials, artworks, workshops and tutorials, as well as posters, demonstrations and graduate student symposium submissions investigating how interactive computing systems and socio-technical processes affect creativity. Of particular interest are contributions that relate to this year’s conference theme: Creativity, Craft and Design. Venice and the Veneto are renowned for the development and retention of craft design skills in glass, furniture, fashion, printing, and architecture. The city’s cultural and creative industries are increasingly influential at the intersections of creativity, innovation, design, and marketing. To reflect this location, the C&C 2021 conference is especially seeking contributions that explore the intersections of creativity, craft, and design.


Conference Topics

We welcome high-quality submissions on a range of topics including, but not limited to:

  *   Creativity in the face of global pandemic
  *   Environments and computing technologies designed to foster, promote, improve, and increase creative experiences, processes, products, and services
  *   Capturing, representing, and analysing creative processes
  *   Gaming technologies that support new forms of play or creative learning
  *   Studies of how creativity is applied to different domains such as learning, work, wellbeing, health, entertainment
  *   Virtual and mixed reality technologies that provoke creativity or amplify cognition
  *   Studies on supporting, nurturing, and embracing creativity in art, craft and design
  *   Theoretical reflections on creativity
  *   Investigations of curation practices, platforms, and environments, in contexts from everyday to scholarly to museums
  *   Research on collaboration, crowdsourcing and micro-task activities as they contribute to creative processes
  *   Studies of social media and how it impacts individual and social creativity
  *   New methodologies and theories for evaluating the impact of computing on creativity
  *   Studies evaluating creativity in diverse contexts such as work with underserved communities, longitudinal studies, and cross-cultural contexts


We invite submissions that address any and all human senses (visual, sonic, tangible, olfactory, and somaesthetic). We invite both established and new approaches to data such as first person methods, visual methods, text analysis, as well as qualitative and quantitative methodologies typically employed in human-computer interaction research.
