A Polyphonic Model for Creativity in Small Virtual Collaborative Groups
Journal Title: Revista Romana de Interactiune Om-Calculator - Year 2013, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Polyphonic music and counterpoint are a model for creativity because they appeared naturally in musical composition processes for developing a theme in the context of a community of voices and they were validated by listeners. The paper studies how polyphony, counterpoint, ventriloquism may be a model of creativity and, particularily, of knowledge building in virtual collaborative systems on the web. As I mentioned in previous papers, colaborative interfacing tools may stimulate inter-animation, with beneficial effects on creativity fostering. Repetitions and echoes of words make them get a special importance, sometimes becoming artefacts. The paper presents several examples that evidentiate the polyphonic concepts in chat conversations in which appear micro-creativity processes.
