This paper considers the kinds of AI systems we want involved in art and art practice. We explore this relationship from three perspectives: as artists interested in expanding and developing our own creative practice; as AI researchers interested in building new AI systems that contribute to the understanding and development of art and art practice; and as audience members interested in experiencing art. We examine the nature of both art practice and experiencing art to ask how AI can…

A History of Creativity for Future AI Research
TLDR
It is argued that the former tradition, originating in the classical Latin use of the word “creare” as a natural process of bringing about change, is a more general and useful notion as it applies more readily to describing human experience and activity as well as applying equally to other non-western cultures.
Design Considerations for Real-Time Collaboration with Creative Artificial Intelligence
TLDR
It is argued that the artistic goals and creative process should be first and foremost in any design, and the range of design challenges for building creative AI systems in provoking, challenging and enhancing human creative activity through their creative agency are summarized.
A Meta-interactive Compositional Approach that Fosters Musical Emergence through Ludic Expressivity
TLDR
This paper introduces the concept of meta-interactivity for compositional interfaces, which extends an individual's capabilities by the translation of an effort into a proficiency, and presents how this approach can be effective through a novel system that enables non-experts to compose coherent musical pieces through the use of imagetic elements in a virtual environment.
Experience Driven Design of Creative Systems
TLDR
A new methodology for understanding the role of the system through the interplay of experiences of audience, designer and performer throughout the performance is proposed, and how a time based media annotation system can be used to support that methodology is described.
Can Artificial Intelligence Make Art?
TLDR
It is found that people judge robot paintings and human paintings as art to roughly the same extent, however, people are much less willing to consider robots as artists than humans, which is partially explained by the fact that they are less disposed to attribute artistic intentions to robots.
Meta-interactivity and Playful Approaches for Musical Composition
The concept of gamified interactive models and its novel extensions, such as playification, has been widely approached in order to engage users in many fields. In fields such as HCI and AI, however,…
Can Artificial Intelligence Make Art?
In two experiments (total N=693) we explored whether people are willing to consider paintings made by AI-driven robots as art, and robots as artists. Across the two experiments, we manipulated three…
Computational systems for music improvisation
TLDR
Through analysis of examples in the field, key areas of concern in the design of new systems are identified and used as categories in the construction of a taxonomy to derive principles that may aid designers scaffold their work on existing innovation.
Has computational creativity successfully made it “Beyond the Fence” in musical theatre?
TLDR
The Beyond the Fence project was to use computer software as much as possible to produce “the world's first computer-generated musical”, and the DECIDE evaluation framework is applied to evaluate it.
Blind Creation:Emerging Music Through Implicit Collaboration
TLDR
A novel algorithm is introduced where a human agent cooperates with a video game system in generating music in an emergent fashion, without needing awareness that he/she is doing so.

Mind, Machine, and Creativity: An Artist's Perspective
TLDR
Questioning the possibility for AI to model human creativity, Harold Cohen suggests in so many words that the human mind takes a different route to creativity, a route that privileges the relational, rather than the computational, dimension of cognition.

This final chapter proposes a number of questions that we think are important for future research in relation to computers and creativity. Many of these questions have emerged in one form or another…
Stimulating creative flow through computational feedback
TLDR
The motivation for using computational techniques to stimulate human creativity is outlined, its historical context and predeces- sors are summarised, and two software studies produced by the group are described as base-line exemplars of these ideas.
