"This paper introduces the notion ‘post-creativity’ as a reference point for discussing the ways in which the computational simulation of creativity perpetually seems to hinge upon conceptions of creativity that are both much-too-human and non-contingent. Taking issue with the often implicit idea within the artificial creativity-
agenda that creativity somehow exists before the fact, this paper, drawing upon Michel Foucault’s notion of the ‘dispositif’, insists that we must keep a steady eye on the historicity of the ideas and practices of ‘creativity’ in order to fully comprehend the ways in which computational/artificial creativity is part and parcel of the perpetual re-creation of creativity and hence, at best, contributing to a conceptual reverse-engineering of‘creativity’."

Post-creativity and AI: Reverse-engineering our Conceptual Landscapes of Creativity

technical paper

Computational creativity is the art, science, philosophy and engineering of computational systems which, by taking on particular responsibilities, exhibit behaviours that unbiased observers would deem to be creative. As a field of research, this area is thriving, with progress in formalising what it means for software to be creative, along with many exciting and valuable applications of creative software in the sciences, the arts, literature, gaming and elsewhere.

The ICCC conference series organized by the Association for Computational Creativity since 2010 is the only scientific conference that focuses on computational creativity alone and also covers all aspects of it.
