International Symposium on Creative Computing

Description

ISCC is a Special Track of ISSSR 2025 focusing on the realm of Creative Computing – specifically the intersection between digital creativity and the Culture Sector.

Today, the cultural sector continues to adapt to a networked and dataful world. Cultural organizations internationally are harnessing digital technology creatively to help them meet both their strategic ambitions and their audiences’ expectations. For museums, galleries, archives, libraries, art centers, heritage sites, and performance venues, digital technologies are the means by which these organizations can operate with efficiency in the twenty-first century, as well as have relevancy to the lives of their audiences, visitors, users, and communities.

At the intersection between digital technology and the culture sector, Creative Computing has a particularly important role. In particular, rapid advancements in Artificial Intelligence and Computing (including generative AI and AI-generated content) are revealing at pace new ways to produce cultural objects, alternative approaches to understanding creativity, and different modes of cultural experience.

Responding to this moment and these challenges, we invite researchers with diverse backgrounds and disciplines to participate actively in this symposium. We aim to foster collaboration, spark innovation, and respond with creativity to this time of profound digital change in the Culture Sector.
