“…Information creation is a way of sensemaking where people make sense of the world not only by acquiring sufficient information but also by creating new information (Harviainen and Melkko, 2022;Koh et al, 2019). Moreover, creative information creation is not just a solitary activity; instead, it involves social interactions and the integration of information in various forms (Campbell-Meier and Krtalić, 2022;Given and Kuys, 2022;Guo, 2022;Ju et al, 2022).…”

Introduction. The advent of generative AI has democratized art creation, enabling individuals without formal training to produce visually appealing digital artworks. However, it is not yet well-understood why and how laypeople engage with AI in creative information practice. Method. This study conducted semi-structured interviews with 17 participants, aiming to understand the motivations for laypeople's engagement with AI painting and the challenges they encounter. Analysis. The interviews were analysed using open coding and thematic analysis, with two independent coders achieving a substantial inter-coder reliability score. Results. Our findings reveal that laypeople's engagement with AI painting is a practice-oriented information practice, influenced by social and contextual factors. The engagement process is iterative, starting with a user prompt and AI-generated initial output, followed by continuous refinement. Laypeople engage with AI painting for emotional motivations, personal utilitarian motivations, and social interaction. Notable challenges include image quality, technological limitations, and personal constraints. Conclusion. These findings provide empirical evidence of the potential and limitations of AI in creative information practice. This understanding is vital for informing the design of future AI tools to enhance the human-AI collaborative experience in creative endeavours.

“…Second, as identified in the genres of VCC, co‐creating cultural heritage information practices cannot be achieved without close cooperation among institutions and communities. In this line, we recommend that researchers draw on the theory of community engagement (Du & Chu, 2022; Given & Kuys, 2022; Tang et al, 2021) and inter‐organizational coordination (Alexander, 1993; Jennings & Ewalt, 1998). For example, the community engagement model requires rich contextualized exploration and further focus on relevant contingent factors for different cultural heritage information practices.…”

“…In light of this, cultural heritage information practices call for public participation and community engagement to address the many challenges of cultural heritage by drawing on collective wisdom and strength (Zhao et al, 2020). Some classic models, such as cultural heritage crowdsourcing (Zhang et al, 2020), citizen science (Dawson et al, 2020), and participatory design (Given & Kuys, 2022), have been widely used in cultural heritage-related information work.…”

Value co‐creation as a research topic has been a critical proposition of interest to a wide range of disciplines. In recent years, the field of cultural heritage has also developed a range of information practices to promote different forms of value co‐creation. While the body of literature has begun to accumulate, we still lack a comprehensive understanding of conceptual foundations and how value co‐creation is implemented in cultural heritage information practices. This paper conducted a hermeneutic literature review to understand and conceptualize the core aspects of value co‐creation in various cultural heritage information works. In particular, this paper provides a research mapping of the genres of co‐creation in cultural heritage information practices, the actors, and the roles played by the stakeholders. Further, this review provides an overview of the dominant value co‐creation models in the cultural heritage field. It distills the drivers of value co‐creation and the core value consequences that arise from a process perspective. Finally, this paper puts forward a thematic, theoretical, and methodological agenda for future work based on these findings. The review contributes to the literature by proposing an integrated conceptual framework that summarizes the core elements of value co‐creation in cultural heritage information practices. The framework also serves as a call for action, providing a general understanding of the conceptual foundation for future research.

“…Additionally, certain designs draw inspiration from art therapy principles, such as interactive wall designs aimed at reducing wandering behavior associated with dementia [32]. Given and Kuys' work presents memorial design as information creation; the memorial design embeds three types of information: explicit (e.g., photographs), implicit (e.g., national flowers), and embodied (e.g., pathway elevation) [33].…”

Presently, a substantial majority of older individuals in urban regions of China prefer to inhabit older residential communities over newer counterparts. Within these aging communities, the intricate matter of intergenerational communication among older adults presents a complex and multifaceted issue that warrants comprehensive investigation from a systematic perspective. This paper first employs the observational method to study multiple old residential communities in a city in the Yangtze River Delta region of China. The POEMS framework and the AEIOU framework are applied, focusing on the analysis of individuals and the interaction between individuals and objects, respectively. Semistructured interviews are then conducted with three groups of people, emphasizing community participation by older adults, intergenerational interaction from the perspective of older adults, and intergenerational interaction from the perspective of young people. Finally, the paper categorizes the types and characteristics of individuals in the old communities, identifying the intersections between these groups. The current social situation of older adults and young people is summarized, including behavioral and psychological characteristics and social interaction challenges. Based on these findings, ten system design directions to enhance intergenerational interaction in old communities are proposed, and three of these system design directions are further developed.
