Creative computing covers the interdisciplinary area at the cross-over of the creative arts and computing. Issues of creativity include knowledge discovery, for example.{{cite book| doi=10.1007/978-3-319-23766-4_7 | chapter=Knowledge Discovery in Creative Computing for Creative Tasks | first1=Lu | last1=Zhang | first2=Hongji | last2=Yang | authorlink2=Hongji Yang | title=Creativity in Intelligent, Technologies and Data Science | volume=535 | publisher=Springer | series=Communications in Computer and Information Science | pages=93–104 | year=2015 | isbn=978-3-319-23765-7 }}

Overview

The International Journal of Creative Computing describes creative computing as follows:{{cite web| url=http://www.inderscience.com/ijcrc | title=International Journal of Creative Computing | publisher=Inderscience Publishers | access-date=19 March 2016}}

{{quote|Creative computing refers to a meta-technology to coalesce knowledge in computing and other disciplines. People use computers as aids to creativity and creative-computing topics may reshape the world as we know it. Applications are seen in arts, entertainment/games, mobile applications, multimedia, product/web design and other interactive systems.}}

Creative computing is interdisciplinary in nature and topics relating to it include applications, development method, evaluation, modeling, philosophy, principles, support environment, and theory.

The term "creative computing" is used both in the United Kingdom and the United States (e.g., at Harvard University and MIT).{{cite web| url=http://scratched.gse.harvard.edu/guide/ | title=Creative Computing – An Introductory Computing Curriculum using Scratch | publisher=Harvard University | access-date=24 February 2017 }}{{cite web| url=http://cs4hs.media.mit.edu/ | title=Creative Computing | publisher=Massachusetts Institute of Technology | work=MIT Media Lab | access-date=24 February 2017 }}
