Incorporating Evaluation Methods in Creative Work
This is a one-day symposium, endorsed by the Computer Arts Society and the Design Research Society. Papers will focus on the use of novel methods, or methods newly borrowed from other disciplines, in evaluating the user’s or audience’s response to media such as websites, portable media (such as iPods, PSPs), pervasive games, film, videogames, technology-rich performance, interactive art.
An aspect of interest is the use of interactive technologies to assist evaluative processes as well as to deliver interactive experiences. The aim is to share knowledge about evaluation methods and to debate the role and value of different forms of evaluation in relation to the arts and media. With this in mind, well-argued papers questioning the very idea of evaluation (especially scientific evaluation methods) in the arts, will also be accepted.
All papers will be peer-reviewed by an international panel. The best papers will be put forward for a special issue of the journal Digital Creativity.
The event is organised by the Lansdown Centre for Electronic Arts and is supported by the Design Research Society and the Computer Arts Society, a specialist group of the British Computer Society.
