Digital arts and interaction

Abstract

This SIG proposal, sponsored by the CHI Design Community, looks at the intersection and cross-fertilization between HCI, and Digital and Performance Arts. We consider how the exploration of engaging and meaningful artistic experience can further push the boundaries of HCI research and practice and how tool use and models of evaluation can be explored to assist the development of creative enterprises. We consider how artists' early experiments with technology can inform mainstream design thinking, and how theories and practice in aesthetics can feed into User Experience.
