Panel Statement
Panel: Kunstliche Kunst
This presentation discusses the relationship between creativity in the “virtual world” of computing and its relevance to creativity in the “real world” outside the computer. Particular emphasis will be directed towards the question of limits, both physical and intellectual, which are made evident by the use of computers. A reductive hypothesis is presented that reduces questions of novelty and innovation, to questions of selection and reproduction.
