Creative self-expression in socio-technical systems
Tyler Pace · 2012
Massive networked communities, from Wikipedia contributors to amateur multimedia producers, have demonstrated enormous creativity and productivity in recent years. The dissertation research I discuss in this paper theorizes the creative products of these communities as acts of self-expression that exist within unique socio-technical contexts. Further, my work motivates the study of these creative acts as a new avenue for designing creativity support tools in CSCW.
