It defines “creative” with care, emphasizing computer use that supports synthesis of new works rather than only analysis. The society focuses on mutual education between artists and computer professionals, supports international communication, and highlights practical artistic applications such as computer-controlled electronic music and computer-aided design. It also addresses social implications of reversing mechanization’s move toward standardization.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/","Research

 \n# COMPUTER ARTS SOCIETY\n\nThe aims of the Society are to promote the creativeuse of computers in the arts,and to encourage theinterchange of information in this area.  \nThe term CREATIVE will be applied with some strictness;the use of computers in the analysis of works of art,important though this is,will not usually be included,except where it leads to some synthesis of new works.The term COMPUTER will be applied broadly,to includemachines and techniques with computer-like functionsproviding scope for programming,which explore newcreative possibilities.  \nAll arts,pure and applied,are included.Many of theideas and methods for the creative applications ofcomputers and programming apply to more than one artform.  \nThe current information processing needs of artists andthe development of new forms of expression will beconsidered.The underlying purpose will be to fostermethods and systems that suit people and to resist thetendency to make people fit systems.  \nThe mutual education of artists and computer peoplethrough joint projects and discussions is mostimportant.Initially,the stress will be on activities;formal establishment of a society can follow.  \nThe arts and computers are equally global;a societyconcerned with fostering new forms of expression andcommunication,should be world-wide.There are practicalproblems in running an international society,butpublications can be international,and it is hoped thatat least one international event can be organised eachyear.  \nThe group has been given the status of a specialinterest group of the British Computer Society to aidit in its early organisation.This will not preventassociation with other societies later,or the formationof an independent society.  \nThe current information processing needs of artists canbe illustrated by the situation in electronic music.Computer control of an electronic music studio causesa dramatic alteration in the composer's attitude towardshis medium and material.The many laborious hours ofsplicing tape are eliminated.This is a solution ofpractical problems that is bound to be adopted morewidely.The composer can use his system much morefreely,like a sketch pad,in a more interactive way.In just this way computers can lead to more freedom forartists,not less.This area is clearly related to thecomputer aided design which is increasingly finding aplace in industrial design.  \nThe development of new forms of expression is notsomething that is bound to happen,but is a matter ofthe choice and preference of artists.What is possibleis the programmed creation of works.The artist is thencreating a process,not individual works.In the purearts this may seem anathema,but art thrives on contrad-ictions,and it can be yet another way of asking what isart?-how should we look at a drawing designed by aprogram?-how should we look at a drawing designedby a man?-how should we look at the world?  \nIn the applied arts there are important socialimplications.For here is a way of reconciling theeconomic need for large scale production with the humanneed for the individually different.  \nWe cannot return to the days of hand made goods.Butwe can now,with computers,reverse the tendency formechanisation to mean standardisation,greyness,uniformity and de-humanisation.It will be an importantfunction of the society to see that this happens.Inarchitecture,for example,it should no longer benecessary to design estates of identical houses orblocks of identical flats;unlimited variety evenwithin standard shells and with standard modules ispossible.It needs more work than the easy way,butcomputers can do that work.  \nCOPYRIGHT  \nCopyright subsists in the authors.Opinions andcommitments are those of authors individually.
