Handbook of Research on Computational Arts and Creative Informatics
A book edited by James Braman, Towson University, Towson, MD, USA
Giovanni Vincenti, Gruppo Vincenti, S.r.l., Rome, Italy
Introduction
At the core of the fundamental questions of "what is art" and "what is
technology" we focus The Handbook of Research on computational Arts
and Creative Informatics at the convergence of computer science and
artistic creativity. We seek to discover new ways to conceptualize art
and investigate new methods of self expression through the use of
technology. Here we are inviting experts in a wide range of
disciplines to discuss the emergence of expression and art through
that of science, information technology, computer science, artificial
intelligence and many other related fields. We see this book as a
comprehensive recourse where artists and scientists can collaborate on
ideas, practices and experimentations on these topics. As technology
becomes meshed further into our culture and everyday lives, new
mediums and outlets for creative expression and innovation are abound.
We are emphasizing the creative nature of technology and science
itself. How does the human side of technological achievement influence
our creative abilities as technology is a creation in itself? Has the
ontology of the information age influenced society at the level of
both the human and non human? Through this handbook we are addressing
novel concepts from creation, interaction, communication,
interpretation and emergence of art through various technological
means and mediums.
Coverage
The Handbook of Research on computational Arts and Creative
Informatics will provide a comprehensive range of topics regarding the
interaction of the sciences and the arts. Key concepts, theories and
innovations involving the computational side of the arts and other
creative technologies will be discussed. This particular volume will
feature chapters (8,000-10,000 words) written by experts and leading
innovators of their respective fields.
Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
# Art and web design
# Fractals, tessellations and Creativity through mathematical
expression
# Interactive and computational sculptures and artworks
# Kinetic sculptures
# Creativity as an emergent property of art and science
# Essays and Discussion on Art and Technology
# Digital art and creative expressions
# The creative process in IT education
# Art created by Artificial Life and Intelligent Agents
# Creativity in computer interface and web design
# Creativity from emergent properties
# Art expressed or created by multi-agent systems
# Virtual spaces and Art of synthetic/ virtual worlds
# Art and expression through information visualization
# Animation, simulation and modeling
# 3-D artwork
# Art for the blind and visually impaired- Universal Creativity
# Human expression through cybernetics
# Robotics and Art
# Future trends in Art as influenced by emerging technologies
Submissions
Interested individuals are invited to submit a 2-3 page manuscript on
their proposed chapter by October 15, 2007. We encourage the inclusion
of related topics not mentioned above that may be related to both the
theme of the handbook and your particular research area or expertise.
Upon acceptance of your proposal, you will have until February 28,
2007 to submit a completed draft of your chapter. A set of guidelines
will also be sent to you upon acceptance. Each potential author will
receive notification on their acceptance status by November 15, 2007.
