Resumen: | This paper argues that the construction of creative systems is motivated by –what sometimes seems to be–,
diverse, even contradictory, viewpoints and understandings about the goals of computational creativity. To analyse those differences I introduce the Computational
Creativity Continuum (CC-Continuum), which can be
pictured as a line or band flanked by two poles; I refer
to one of the poles as the engineering-mathematical approach and I refer to the opposite pole as the cognitivesocial approach. Thus, creative agents are located along
the Continuum based on their main goals as systems.
Through the text I explain the general characteristics of
each approach, how they complement each other, and
some of the difficulties that arise when systems are
misclassified. I finish pointing out the utility of frameworks like the CC-continuum. |
