ABSTRACT
This research summary describes a comparative, multiple-case study of the work practices of artists and engineers independently developing similar technologies. The goal of the study is to develop evidence-based articulations, or vocabularies, to support the discourse of creative practice particularly with respect to technological innovation in the arts and engineering. This study informs part of my dissertation research, the overall project of which is to contribute to the body of scholarship that acts as ongoing articulation, clarification, and discourse about technological art, specifically when that art contributes to technological invention.

Creative strategies in artists' and engineers' approaches to technology development: first results of a case study
C&C '11: Proceedings of the 8th ACM conference on Creativity and cognitionIn this paper we present early findings from our comparative case study of the work practices of artists and engineers independently developing similar technologies. We describe two patterns of creative strategies: teleological and stochastic. We also ...
Assistive or Artistic Technologies? Exploring the Connections between Art, Disability and Wheelchair Use
ASSETS '22: Proceedings of the 24th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and AccessibilityArt has deep connections with both disability and HCI research. From disabled bodies becoming avatars of novel forms of expression, to artistic work being created as an act of resistance, art has been a powerful tool to subvert ableist narratives. ...
Alchemy: experiments in interactive drawing, creativity, & serendipity
C&C '09: Proceedings of the seventh ACM conference on Creativity and cognitionThis paper presents an overview of Alchemy, an experimental drawing application aimed at exploring how we can sketch, draw, and create on computers in new ways. Alchemy focuses on the absolute initial stage of the creative process, to provide an ...
