As an instrument, the final piece allows for experimentation, rewards for mastery, and is a vehicle for expression.\u0000 By asking questions about how visual music can be used to perceive rhythm, what ways visual rhythms can be used for composition, and what ways composition can be intertwined with performance and experimental notation, this project illustrates that sound is a reliable and effective way to provide users feedback for making visual composition decisions, judgments, and actions. From amateur to professional musicians, the instrument allows for unique, personal interactions and expressive choice.","PeriodicalId":90479,"journal":{"name":"Creativity & cognition : proceedings of the ...

This paper investigates the role of dynamism and realism in visual metaphors for cueing the insight problem solving process. To match the visual-kinesthetic feature of the eight-coin insight problem, the developed metaphors represented the insight cues, both kinetically and kinesthetically. An experimental study showed the superiority of metaphors as realistic and continuous animations over schematic and discrete animations.","PeriodicalId":90479,"journal":{"name":"Creativity & cognition : proceedings of the ...

While current software tools support manifold areas in working with complex data, they are very limited to support creative work. Little research has been done on what kinds of representations are supporting the externalization of mental efforts in the best way. Especially it is very challenging to give abstract mental concepts an appropriate representation. This doctoral research is creating and investigating novel approaches combining visualizations, interaction concepts and memory techniques to create design guidelines for interactive visualizations for creative work. First experiments have been conducted and the key principles are implemented partially in a prototype called BrainDump.","PeriodicalId":90479,"journal":{"name":"Creativity & cognition : proceedings of the ...

Inventing gadgets like lightsabers or mythical creatures like griffins is a creative task. Traditional computational storytelling systems are limited in their expressivity because they cannot create new types of objects or gadgets. The Japanese manga series Doraemon exemplifies the role of new and creative gadgets in creating fun and successful stories. We surveyed five volumes of Doraemon and identified 9 cognitive strategies of gadget creation, unified in a 5-step process. We present an algorithm to create new types of gadgets in the context of story generation. The algorithm is a combination of partial-order planning and analogical reasoning. Although Doraemon is our motivating example, we can also generate gadgets commonly seen in other science fictions and fairy tales.","PeriodicalId":90479,"journal":{"name":"Creativity & cognition : proceedings of the ...

But a more compelling substrate, increasingly evident in gaming culture, links the two. In the notion of Spielraum-- room-for-play-- a common ground of emergent possibility may be discerned. This interactive space of memory, thought, affect and sensory perception allows the mind to wander creatively, i.e. purposefully and at the same time playfully. Integrating non-methods of play and chance (two variants of spiel) with goal-directed activity, this paper proposes, is an important way to foster creative problem solving across disciplines.","PeriodicalId":90479,"journal":{"name":"Creativity & cognition : proceedings of the ...
