Creativity in Art, Design and Technology

Abstract

How does creativity evolve in an increasingly technological world? Creativity in Art, Design and Technology edited by Susan Liggett, Rae Earnshaw and Jill Townsley examine how art, design, and technology reconfigure creative practice and social responsibility within the context of emerging technologies. Through interdisciplinary case studies, ranging from painting and virtual reality to AI, climate engagement, and community art, the contributors argue that technology can extend human imagination while reshaping authorship, collaboration, and social responsibility. The book’s strength lies in its accessible examples and its insistence that creativity today is often collective, technologically mediated and socially responsive. The book highlights collaborative models between artists, designers, and technologists, while raising philosophical and ethical questions about authorship, temporality, and social impact.
