Book excerpt: In the evolution of science and technology, laws governing exceptional creativity and innovation have yet to be discovered. In his influential study The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, the historian Thomas Kuhn noted that the final stage in a scientific breakthrough such as Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity—the most crucial step—was “inscrutable.” The same is still true half a century later. Yet, there has been considerable progress in understanding many stages and facets of exceptional creativity and innovation. In Exceptional Creativity in Science and Technology, editor Andrew Robinson gathers diverse contributors to explore this progress. This new collection arises from a symposium with the same title held at the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) in Princeton. Organized by the John Templeton Foundation, the symposium had the late distinguished doctor and geneticist Baruch S. Blumberg as its chair. At the same time, its IAS host was the well-known physicist Freeman J. Dyson—both of whom have contributed chapters to the book. In addition to scientists, engineers, and an inventor, the book’s fifteen contributors include an economist, entrepreneurs, historians, and sociologists, all working at leading institutions, including Bell Laboratories, Microsoft Research, Oxford University, Princeton University, and Stanford University. Each contributor brings a unique perspective to the relationships between exceptional scientific creativity and innovation by individuals and institutions. The diverse list of disciplines covered, the high-profile contributors (including two Nobel laureates), and their fascinating insights into this overarching question—how exactly do we make breakthroughs?—will make this collection of interest to anyone involved with the creative process in any context. Still, it will especially appeal to readers in scientific and technological fields.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computer science has drawn from and contributed to many disciplines and practices since it emerged as a field in the middle of the 20th century. Those interactions, in turn, have contributed to the evolution of information technology â€" new forms of computing and communications, and new applications â€" that continue to develop from the creative interactions between computer science and other fields. Beyond Productivity argues that, at the beginning of the 21st century, information technology (IT) is forming a powerful alliance with creative practices in the arts and design to establish the exciting new, domain of information technology and creative practicesâ€"ITCP. There are major benefits to be gained from encouraging, supporting, and strategically investing in this domain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creative Technological Change draws upon a wide range of thinking from organisational theory, innovation studies and the sociology of technology. It explores the different ways in which these questions have been framed and answered, especially in relation to new 'virtual' technologies. The idea of metaphor is used to capture the differences between, and strengths and weaknesses of various ways of conceptualising the technology/organisation relationship. This approach offers the possibility of developing new ways of thinking about, viewing and ultimately responding creatively to the organisational challenges posed by technological change.

Book excerpt: This edited book explores the digital challenge for cultural-creative organizations and industries, and its impact on production, meaning-making, consumption and valuation of cultural-creative products and experiences. Discussing digital changes such as user-generated content, social media, business model innovation and product development, the chapters challenge deep-seated definitions of creative individuals, organizations and industries, offering insights into how this creative aspect is argued and legitimized. Placing an emphasis on research that deals with the digital challenge, this collection theorizes its significance for the nature and dynamics of creative industries as well as its impact on the mediation of experiences and the creation and consumption of cultural-creative products.

Book excerpt: This dissertation explores the intersection of technology and creativity in Hollywood since the 1990s to understand emerging ways of imagining, performing, and automating creative labor. Intended as a social and cultural corrective to the large body of economic-industrial accounts of media industry's "digital revolution," this work blends methods from production studies with those of digital media, science and technology studies, and technofeminist critique to probe the ideological tensions undergirding the convergence of Hollywood and Silicon Valley. It contains case studies analyzing: the history of computer-assisted screenwriting and the gendered labor dynamics embedded in writing software; streaming video service Netflix's extrapolation of big data analytics into a cultural belief system merging scientific and artistic ways of knowing; and the mapping of assumptions about creativity onto machine learning and generative AI technologies like Chat-GPT. In tracking and historicizing the shifting influence of the technology sector on media arts, production methodologies, and media industry power dynamics since the 1990s, this dissertation argues for understanding contemporary media work as a balancing act between artistic and engineering sensibilities. Each chapter shows how beliefs about technology and its purpose, impact on society, and relationship to human agency are being adapted into persuasive industrial logics that justify contemporary ways of organizing, valuing, and supporting creative labor. In this way, Hollywood's varied approaches to technology-assisted creative processes are both symptoms of and adaptations to the cultural and economic conditions of a commercial landscape increasingly dominated by the tech sector, its priorities, and its preferred methods of problem-solving. Finally, this dissertation asks how discursive framings of computational technologies as instruments of totalizing rationality engage existing belief systems in Hollywood concerning who knows what about creativity, how they came to know it, and whether this knowledge can be profitable in the future.

This book was released on 2021-03-19 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emerging technologies can have a great impact on creativity and innovation, particularly in regard to influencing how society consumes information and how it collaborates and shares information with others. There are many ways in which technology influences or transforms users' engagement with media, such as facilitating or impeding collaboration and group communication or how such technologies impact problem solving and creative performance. Technology influences all aspects of our lives, and creativity does not reside solely in one domain; cross-disciplinary research explores the role of technology in collaboration and creativity in diverse situations. Technological Influences on Creativity and User Experience examines how technology shapes and influences users' experiences with a special focus on their interactions with media and new technologies and the impacts of these influences on different aspects of an individual. The chapters cover important topic areas such as media consumption, idea generation, digital collaboration, the consumer experience, and innovative performance. This book is ideal for academic audiences as a tool for facilitating future research in disciplines such as psychology, management, marketing, and consumer research; individuals managing creative teams or producing marketing content for public consumption; as well as consumer behavior analysts, managers, product developers, marketers, advertisers, practitioners, researchers, and students interested in how technology impacts user experience and creativity.

Book excerpt: The stages of the creative process—from “unlearning” to beginning again—seen through examples from the practice of artists, architects, poets, and others. Although each instance of creativity is singular and specific, Kyna Leski tells us, the creative process is universal. Artists, architects, poets, inventors, scientists, and others all navigate the same stages of the process in order to discover something that does not yet exist. All of us must work our way through the empty page, the blank screen, writer's block, confusion, chaos, and doubt. In this book, Leski draws from her observations and experiences as a teacher, student, maker, writer, and architect to describe the workings of the creative process. Leski sees the creative process as being like a storm; it slowly begins to gather and take form until it overtakes us—if we are willing to let it. It is dynamic, continually in motion; it starts, stops, rages and abates, ebbs and flows. In illustrations that accompany each chapter, she maps the arc of the creative process by tracing the path of water droplets traveling the stages of a storm. Leski describes unlearning, ridding ourselves of preconceptions; only when we realize what we don't know can we pose the problem that we need to solve. We gather evidence—with notebook jottings, research, the collection of objects—propelling the process. We perceive and conceive; we look ahead without knowing where we are going; we make connections. We pause, retreat, and stop, only to start again. To illustrate these stages of the process, Leski draws on examples of creative practice that range from Paul Klee to Steve Jobs, from the discovery of continental drift to the design of Antoni Gaudí's Sagrada Familia. Creativity, Leski tells us, is a path with no beginning or end; it is ongoing. This revelatory view of the creative process will be an essential guide for anyone engaged in creative discovery. The Creative Process Unlearning Problem Making Gathering and Tracking Propelling Perceiving and Conceiving Seeing Ahead Connecting Pausing Continuing
