Beyond the Creative Species: Making Machines That Make Art and Music

Book Description

A multidisciplinary introduction to the field of computational creativity, analyzing the impact of advanced generative technologies on art and music.

As algorithms get smarter, what role will computers play in the creation of music, art, and other cultural artifacts? Will they be able to create such things from the ground up, and will such creations be meaningful? In Beyond the Creative Species, Oliver Bown offers a multidisciplinary examination of computational creativity, analyzing the impact of advanced generative technologies on art and music. Drawing on a wide range of disciplines, including artificial intelligence and machine learning, design, social theory, the psychology of creativity, and creative practice research, Bown argues that to understand computational creativity, we must not only consider what computationally creative algorithms actually do, but also examine creative artistic activity itself.

书名：超越创意物种：制造制造艺术和音乐的机器

计算创意领域的多学科介绍，分析先进的生成技术对艺术和音乐的影响。

随着算法变得越来越智能，计算机将在音乐、艺术和其他文化艺术品的创作中扮演什么角色？他们能从头开始创造这样的东西吗？这样的创造会有意义吗？在《超越创意物种》一书中，奥利弗·鲍恩对计算创造力进行了多学科的研究，分析了先进的生殖技术对艺术和音乐的影响。鲍恩借鉴了包括人工智能和机器学习、设计、社会理论、创造力心理学和创造性实践研究在内的广泛学科，认为要理解计算创造力，我们不仅必须考虑计算创造性算法的实际作用，还必须研究创造性艺术活动本身。
