This edited book collects a selection of the best papers submitted for the Artificial Creativity: Looking at the Future of Digital Culture meeting held in Milan, Italy in June of 2024. The chapters cover the effects of technology on the arts including the narrative, visual, and auditory. This book revisits the notion of what can be considered creative, artistic, and consequently an expression of our culture. It appeals to students and researchers and reveals how the field of ‘creative practice research’ is constantly shaped by the emergence of new technologies, especially “intelligent” technologies such as AI and machine learning.
