Morning Session (09:00-12:00): On Creativity

  • Introduction to Computational Creativity: New sounds, new music, new
    technologies.
    • Discusses the relationship between Artificial Intelligence and the Arts and
      Computational Creativity.
    • Explores how computers can support, enhance, and transform music making.
  • What is Creativity? Discuss the question of whether computers can be creative.
