A potential convergence is arising between HCI and the interactive arts. The goal of this SIG is to develop a conversation on the potential role of the arts in the HCI community, based on the soon-to-be released US National Academies National Computer Science and Telecommunications Board's report on Information Technology (IT) and creative practices 2. What kinds of activities are taking place that combine serious creative artwork with HCI issues? What kinds of topics should HCI study to support interactive art? How could HCI benefit from a deep engagement with the arts, and what would such an engagement likely entail? What kinds of challenges might engagement between HCI and the arts present for the self-conception of each field? What institutions are available or should be created for interdisciplinary work between the arts and HCI? In what forums can this work be exchanged and discussed.
