A Creativity and Cognition Symposium
Hosted by: The Dynamic Design Research Group, UTS.
To be held at: University of Technology, Sydney, and;
Powerhouse Museum, Sydney
16 November - 19 November 2004
The symposium will focus on the emergence of art, communication, information and entertainment systems using interactive environments and media in museum, gallery and other public spaces. It will address recent research and future directions in art and design, spanning the areas of
- Innovative interactive devices and systems
- Creative practice employing interactive environments
- Social and cultural theory about interaction
The discussions will draw on digital art practice, computer game developments, human-computer interaction as well as social and cultural theory. Attendance will primarily depend on the acceptance of refereed contributions, which will be published in a Workshop Proceedings. An exhibition will form an integral part of the meeting. This will show artworks, games and other systems germane to the meeting. It is planned to make the exhibition open to the public. Three Keynote speakers will make public presentations to set the tone and direction of the meeting. The symposium will be organised so that the contributions and discussions lead to a significant book on the subject that will both summarize the state of the art and point forward to future research and practice.
