Findings reveal how the hands stimulate creative cognition, assist decision making and express emotion in creative digital practice. Collaboration and framing as dimensions of design innovation Vanessa Svihla The University of Texas at Austin This study of student teams learning to design in an engineering course reveals that interaction and framing are important dimensions for understanding innovative design.
Growing and Destroying the Worth of Ideas Ricardo Sosa, John Gero, Kyle Jennings Tecnologico de Monterrey, George Mason University, University of California Our computational approach to the study of creativity addresses the worth of ideas ascribed by societies. This system enables the operation of theories regarding the interaction of individuals, societies and ideas. Supporting Remote Creative Collaboration in Film Scoring Julien Phalip, Ernest Edmonds, David Jean Creativity and Cognition Studios, University of Toulouse This paper describes two research studies assessing the design principles of a computer prototype developed to assist remote discussion of music and video artifacts in the film scoring process. Promoting Creativity in Education - From Policy to Practice: An Australian Case Study Carly Lassig Queensland University of Technology Through a review of Australian policies and the literature, this paper proposes that the foundations of creativity in education are: a shared creativity discourse, informed policy, and evidence-based educational practices.
Geezers, Turbines, Fantasy Personas: Making the Everyday into the Future Ann Light, Gini Simpson, Lois Weaver, Patrick GT Healey Sheffield Hallam University, Queen Mary University of London GeezerPower is a statement about reusable technologies and older people's continuing interest in the future. We use its story to reflect on methods for engaging people in decisions about design.
The Elusive Act of Synthesis: Creativity in the Conceptual Design of Complex Engineering Products Claudia Eckert, David Wyatt, John Clarkson The Open University, University of Cambridge Designing complex engineering products requires efficiency without sacrificing creativity. However, this case study shows creativity is being de-emphasised in favour of mathematical methods, displacing it into R&D and final integration.
Understanding Creative Practice through Repertory Grid Technique Shaleph O'Neill, Shaun McWhinnie University of Dundee Our work describes using a group based repertory grid study to generate design guidelines for creating interactive systems that support art, craft and design practitioners and their creative process.
Nature of Creative Analogies in Biologically Inspired Innovative Design Swaroop Vattam, Michael Helms, Ashok Goel Georgia Institute of Technology Analogy is a fundamental process of creativity. We describe an inquiry into the nature of creative analogies in biologically inspired designing which uses analogies to biological systems to develop innovative solutions for engineering problems.
Dialogue Through Design: Visual Communication Across the Cultural Divide Kara Pecknold Emily Carr University of Art+Design A project in Rwanda that considered how creative activities could be tools for dialogue and collaboration in design when working with individuals who do not have shared languages or technology. Local Issues, Local Uses: Tools for Robotics and Sensing in Community Contexts Carl DiSalvo, Marti Louw, Julina Coupland, MaryAnn Steiner Georgia Institute of Technology, University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon University This paper describes creativity tools to foster community engagement with robotics and sensing technologies. We discuss the challenges of enabling informed speculation with unfamiliar technologies and the value of a community co-design approach. Alcohol and Creativity - A Pilot Study Jesse Smith, Terri Reid, Ellen Do Georgia Institute of Technology We describe the design, execution, and results of a study of the effects of alcohol consumption on inhibition and the perception of creativity.
Teaching Computer Science to Teenage Musicians Adam Meyers, Marilyn Cole, Evan Korth, Sam Pluta New York University, University of Georgia , Columbia University We describe "Musicomputation", a computer science/computer music class for teenagers with expertise in music and mathematics. We discuss class structure, student projects and implications for computer science and music education.
"Discovery is never by chance": Designing for (un)serendipity Paul Andrč, m.c. schraefel, Jaime Teevan, Susan Dumais University of Southampton, Microsoft Research Surveys and deconstructs attributes of serendipity, arguing current research has focused on recreating cause (accidental finding) rather than effect (discovery/insight). Suggests behaviours and tools to explicitly foreground desired effect.
The Efficacy of Prototyping Under Time Constraints Steven Dow, Kate Heddleston, Scott Klemmer Stanford University A between-subjects study manipulates participants' ability to iterate on a design task when under time constraints. The results show that iterating multiple times provides more benefit than a single iteration.
An Empirical Study of Cognition and Theatrical Improvisation Brian Magerko, David Joyner, Kurt Luther, Waleed Manzoul, Celia Pearce, Mark Riedl, Kate Rosier Georgia Institute of Technology This paper presents preliminary findings from our empirical study of the cognition employed by theatrical improvisers and discusses the applicability of our findings to the creation of AI characters.
Creativity in Algorithmic Art Frieder Nake University of Bremen Who or what is creative in algorithmic art? Programmer, computer, output device? All of them? Against this background, trivial, personal, historic creativity are discussed to see changes.

A Cognitive Account of Social Interaction and Collective Emergence in Design Ben Shaw IBM Creative activity appears to proceed substantially through modalities of visual cognition, while collaborative products are arrived at through an essentially collective process involving multiple participants and unpredictable developments.
Reflections on Craft: Probing the Creative Process of Everyday Knitters Daniela Rosner, Kimiko Ryokai School of Information UC Berkeley
Crafters today blend age-old techniques such as weaving and pottery with new information and communication technologies such as podcasts, online instructions, and blogs. To better understand this intersection of tradition and modernity, we conducted a qualitative study of crafters introduced to technology that digitally augments craft practice. We describe how these craft activities provide a useful lens onto contemporary technological appropriation.
