Damián Keller, Evandro Manara Miletto, Nuno Otero · KTH Publication Database DiVA (KTH Royal Institute of Technology) · 2015
We present results of two studies that address creative decision-making through the usage of local resources. Adopting anopportunistic design approach (Buxton 2007; Botero et al. 2010;Visser 1994), both studies use off-the-shelf infrastructure toidentify support strategies that deserve further implementationefforts. Both studies yielded complete creative products, consistingof a mixed-media performance artwork and a multimodalinstallation. We discuss the procedures employed to assist thedecision-making processes with an eye on the development ofnew creativity support metaphors. The examples serve to framethe discussion on human-computer interaction and musical creativityin the context of ubiquitous music making.
