The 7th Creativity and Cognition Conference (CC09) embraces the broad theme of Everyday Creativity. This year the conference will be held at the Berkeley Art Museum (CA, USA), and asks: How do we enable everyone to enjoy their creative potential? How do our creative activities differ? What do they have in common? What languages can we use to talk to each other? How do shared languages support collective action? How can we incubate innovation? How do we enrich the creative experience? What encourages participation in everyday creativity? We welcome submissions from academics and practitioners, makers and scientists, artists and theoreticians. This year's broad theme of Everyday Creativity reflects the new forms of creativity emerging in everyday life, and includes topics of: - Collective creativity and creative communities - Shared languages and Participatory creativity - Incubating creativity and supporting Innovation - DIY and folk creativity - Democratising creativity - New materials for creativity - Enriching the collaborative experience :: PROCEEDINGS :: All submissions will be peer reviewed. Printed proceedings, published by ACM Press, will be available at the conference and will be included in the ACM digital library. 635 CA :: ACM CREATIVITY & COGNITION 2009 :: Everyday Creativity: Shared Languages and Collective Action October 27-30, 2009, Berkeley Art Museum, CA, USA Submission deadline: 24 April 2009 2009-10-27 false http://www.creativityandcognition09.org http://events.boxesandarrows.com/events/635 http://events.boxesandarrows.com/event/logo/635/cc09.png art, berkeley, cognition, communities, conference, creativity, demonstrations, diy, event, everyday, exhibition, graduate, hci, papers, performance, posters, psychology, science, tutorials, workshops Seattle USA 2009-10-31 The day will include... * A complete explanation of how to do testing (Hint: very simple, very fast, and very cheap) * Two live usability tests on attendees' sites, so you can see the whole process in detail * A chance to practice conducting a test on your own site * Advice on how to interpret your findings and decide what changes to make * Plenty of time to answer your questions about testing or any other aspect of usability Who should attend?
