Welcome to a K3 seminar with Anuradha Reddy, Post-Doctoral Researcher in Interaction Design, K3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The title of the seminar is Creative Leaps with AI through Critical Making<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This will be an online seminar, carried out through Zoom, and it will take place on Wednesday, September 22 at 10.15-12.00. Please join here: https:\/\/mau-se.zoom.us\/j\/68487148015<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Anuradha writes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Based on my postdoc research, in this K3 seminar, I will present the main argument for a journal article I\u2019m attempting titled \u201cArtificial Everyday Creativity: Creative Leaps with AI through Critical Making<\/strong>.\u201d I\u2019m in the process of finalizing the draft, and I would appreciate your feedback! If you\u2019d like to access the complete draft before the seminar, please email me (anuradha.reddy@mau.se<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Abstract<\/p>\n\n\n\n The capabilities of humans and AI systems to imagine and perform alongside one another has given rise to new practices of \u2018artificial creativity\u2019. In this article, I argue that artificial creativity, where creativity is understood in the everyday sense of the term, shows the potential to empower individuals to interface and critically dialogue with computational systems. Reframed as artificial \u2018everyday\u2019 creativity, I focus attention on the curious, joyful and queer modes of creativity using hybrid materials for developing alternative pedagogies of code and computation. Through the interdisciplinary approach of \u2018critical making\u2019, I engage in hands-on design experimentation, i.e. crafting two unconventionally-coded artefacts that dialogue with AI systems, namely CryptoCrochet-Key<\/strong> and Internet of Towels<\/strong>. These artefacts are analysed through a four-pronged creativity framework to understand and reflect on the material translation processes underlying the artificial everyday creativity experiments. With rising concerns about AI\u2019s role in misinformation, bias and discrimination, the discussion explores the generative value and limitations of artificial everyday creativity towards the broader goals of civic data literacy and user empowerment.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Welcome to a K3 seminar with Anuradha Reddy, Post-Doctoral Researcher in Interaction Design, K3.
