The Art of Computational Creativity

The Creativity Post: On the first day of the Fifth International Conference on Computational Creativity, in Ljubljana, Slovenia (June 10-13, 2014), there was a panel discussion on the subject “Computational Creativity and the Arts”. The first section of this article reproduces an edited transcript of that discussion. A second section offers reflections on this discussion, and adds some “meta-level” commentary on the art of computational creativity.

It seems to me that computational creativity in some peoples eyes might seem like a pointless field, as one could believe that no truly new and inspired content could come from a machine. And that creativity is something that could not be defined by an algorithm, although there is no reason why it could not. It seems to me like all you need is a machine capable of accessing significant amounts of information, and being able to make connections between them, then presenting the connections in a way that is aesthetically pleasing, that seems doable, but awesomely difficult from a programming perspective.
