Abstract
RESEARCH QUESTION
How can speculative UX design and visual media be used to explore the future possibility of creativity support?
Sub-questions
● What kind of assistance can we get from creativity support tools in the creative process?
● How might we facilitate creativity through an assisted creation system?
● What implications will a future creativity support tool have on society?
ABSTRACT
This practice-based research is an investigation of how to get visual creativity support by collaborating with technological advancements such as artificial intelligence connected to the user through a brain-computer interface. It explores the potential and possibilities of a creativity support tool to facilitate visualization and ideation to unleash the potential for visual creativity. This project is positioned in the field of speculative design, focusing on imagining a future creativity support tool for visual creation. This design practice involves developing a video of the designed artefact as a storytelling device to effectively explain the implications of my work and encourage a broader conversation around the future of human creativity and technology. The idea and design of speculation, including the application of technology, interaction, and function of the designed artefact will be discussed in this exegesis. It is hoped that the result of this research serves the purpose of enabling audiences to think about future scenarios on using emerging technologies to enhance human visual creativity.
