[AISWorld] ACM Creativity & Cognition 2019 call for participation (please forward widely)

[Paul Taele]

The 12th ACM conference on Creativity & Cognition <http://cc.acm.org/> will
be held in San Diego, CA at the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay
<https://missionbay.regency.hyatt.com/en/hotel/home.html> on June 23-26,
2019, and will be co-located with the conference on Designing Interactive
Systems (DIS 2019 <http://dis2019.com>). Conference website:
http://cc.acm.org/2019

C&C 2019 invites papers, pictorials, posters, demonstrations, workshops,
artworks, and graduate student symposium submissions
<https://cc.acm.org/2019/submit/> investigating how interactive computing
systems and socio-technical processes affect creativity. Of particular
interest are contributions that relate to this year’s conference theme:
Transformational Creativity. The theme highlights how human and
computational aspects of creativity can beneficially impact our communities
and cultures, and how human experience impacts and is impacted by processes
of creatively forming and solving problems, designing spaces, and building
new possibilities.

We invite submissions that address any and all human senses, including
visual, sonic, tangible, olfactory, and somaesthetic modalities. We invite
new approaches to, and forms of data, such as first person and visual
methods, text analysis, as well as qualitative and quantitative
methodologies typically employed in human-computer interaction research.

Conference Highlights

- Keynote speakers: Ge Wang, Barbara Tversky, Ken Goldberg, and Tiffany
Shlain

- Workshops, grad symposium, and welcome reception on Sunday June 23

- Onsite conference dinner on Monday June 24

- Art Exhibition at UC San Diego on Tuesday June 25 (joint evening with DIS)

- Diversity lunch, shared sessions and keynotes talks on Weds June 26
(joint day with DIS)

Notifications: April 17th, 2019

Camera-Ready Deadline: May 2nd, 2019

Submission Types

Papers <https://cc.acm.org/2019/submit/papers.php> should focus on some
aspect of creativity in individual, collaborative, and/or social contexts.
We encourage submissions that address the effects of design and/or
technology on the human creative experience. We seek submissions that
attempt to validate key contributions and feature data to deepen our
understanding of human creativity. Papers can be 4-10 pages with additional
pages allowed for citations.

Pictorials <https://cc.acm.org/2019/submit/pictorials.php> (submissions up
to 12 pages) should communicate a compelling narrative in which the visual
components (e.g. sketches, illustrations, renderings, diagrams,
photographs, annotated photographs, collages) are foregrounded as the most
important part of the contribution.

Artworks <http://cc.acm.org/2019/submit/artworks.php> submissions should
describe an artwork, installation, composition, or performance to be
presented at UC San Diego galleries and performance spaces as a capstone
event for both C&C and DIS on Tuesday night. More details on the gallery
space and venues will be available in the Art Show CfP (coming soon).

Posters <https://cc.acm.org/2019/submit/posters.php> (submissions up to 6
pages) should highlight early-stage research results that show promise for
maturing into a future paper submission.

Demonstrations <https://cc.acm.org/2019/submit/demos.php> (submissions up
to 4 pages) should demonstrate novel socio-technical systems, digital or
online tools, or interactive environments that aim to enable, enhance, or
otherwise benefit creative experiences. Ideally, the demonstration should
invite hands-on experiences for the conference attendees.

Workshops <https://cc.acm.org/2019/submit/workshops.php> (submissions up to
5 pages) should bring together scholars across disciplines to debate,
disseminate, and advance the theory and practice of topics relevant to the
conference.

Graduate Symposium <https://cc.acm.org/2019/submit/gss.php> (submissions up
to 4 pages) is open to students in a doctoral research program or a
masters-level program in arts and design. Submissions should communicate
current research / design progress and a planned direction of work relevant
to the conference, and how the student will benefit from guidance provided
by peers and senior mentors.

Conference Topics

We seek submissions that speak to, although not limited to, the following
topics:

   -

   Creativity support environments, that is, interactive computing systems
   designed to foster, promote, improve, and increase creative experiences,
   processes, products, and services.
   -

   Studies of how computing systems, design, and/or technology impact
   creativity across disciplines.
   -

   Expressive artworks, in forms such as physical installations, online
   environments, or hybrid systems which creatively use computing to engage
   human experiences.
   -

   Virtual and mixed reality environments designed to support, provoke, and
   express creativity.
   -

   Games that generate open and creative forms of play.
   -

   Investigations of curation practices, platforms, and environments, in
   contexts from everyday to scholarly to museums.
   -

   Research on collaboration and creativity.
   -

   Studies of social media and how it promotes and/or impairs creativity.
   -

   Roles for computing to support creativity in classroom environments,
   including MOOCs.
   -

   Roles for crowdsourcing and micro-task workers in creative processes.
   -

   Roles for physical computing and maker/hacker culture in creative and
   expressive human experiences.
   -

   Roles that aesthetics play in our experiences and understandings of
   digital/computational environments.
   -

   New methodologies and theories for investigating the impact of computing
   on creativity.
   -

   Studies evaluating creativity in diverse contexts, including work with
   underserved communities, longitudinal studies, and cross cultural contexts.
   -

   Historical re-contextualizations that use theory from diverse fields to
   build new understandings of contemporary developments.


Co-Location with Designing Interactive Systems 2019

C&C <http://cc.acm.org/> will be co-located with DIS 2019
<https://dis2019.com/>. Authors should review both calls for participation
to choose the best venue for their work. Both conferences are sponsored by
the ACM Special Interest Group on Computer–Human Interaction (ACM SIGCHI),
which is central to publishing advances in human-computer interaction.
While C&C focuses primarily on conjunctions of creativity and computing,
DIS addresses issues involving the design, deployment, and impact of
interactive systems. Authors are requested to not submit the same work to
both conferences; doing so could be grounds for desk rejection. Please
review all CFPs carefully before choosing the best venue to submit your
work.
