Abstract
With the advances of technologies, the application of computing to aesthetics has rapidly increased. However, little effort has been put to apply aesthetics to computing. Aesthetic Computing is an attempt to fill that research gap. The present paper revisits and elaborates its concept, and highlights “embodiment” as a new format of representation of Aesthetic Computing. The present paper also describes how embodiment can provide more opportunities for accessibility and personalization of computing across different projects – art, STEAM education, and in-vehicle interfaces. Finally, more aesthetic components in Aesthetic Computing are discussed for future research.

Notes
- 1.
The Dagsthul Seminar is one of the prestigious academic workshops in computing. The seminars discuss an established field within computer science or sometimes establish new directions by bringing together separate fields or scientific disciplines.

Note that Aesthetic Computing is different from Perceptual Computing [8], which specifically refers to a methodology which is used to develop an interactive device that can help people make subjective judgments by propagating random and linguistic uncertainties, using fuzzy logic.
