Creative Process and Artefact Creation: Practice, Digital Media and Support Tools

Submission Deadline: 1st October 2004

Creativity and Cognition has evolved into an ever increasingly mature field of research and practice since its starting points in the early 1990s. Creativity and Cognition 2002 revealed a growing strength that can now be demonstrated in the 2005 conference. The main theme of the 2005 conference is the creative process and the creation of artefacts: understanding creative practice, art works employing digital media and creativity support tools.
