Expert eyes on creativity

by | Friday, August 03, 2018

Since 2012, the Deep-Play Research Group has been publishing a series of articles under the broad rubric of Rethinking Technology & Creativity in the 21st Century in the journal Tech Trends. This has led to 33 articles (and counting) and two books. For the past couple of years we have focused our attention learning from some of the top creativity researchers in the world. We have 15 interviews / articles completed with more to come. I just created a page to give easy access to all these interviews. Check out:
