Mining the ambient commons: building interdisciplinary connections between environmental knowledge, AI and creative practice research

Abstract

According to Brooks [2017. "The Big Problem with Self-driving Cars Is People". IEEE Spectrum: Technology, Engineering, and Science News], artificial intelligence has had a variable track-record of usefulness in situations where context and environmental knowledge are responsible for shaping human interactions. In 2021, providing contextually aware training to supervised machine learning is still a non-trivial task for AI models that involve complex systems. In addition, knowledge held only across distributed members of a community, within culture, or tacitly within the wider environment of the ambient commons [McCullough 2013. Ambient Commons: Attention in the Age of Embodied Information. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press] evades consistent generalizable modellingeven in technical domains such as traffic flow management, atmospheric chemistry, or the prediction of election results. Yet it is precisely these interactions of context, community, culture and environment that also define how music can be created. The creative arts can themselves be thought of as a complex system. Assuming that creativity is nongeneralizable, this paper assesses creative processes through a humanities-centric lens of machine learning and robotics, aiming to better understand relationships between context, environment and experimental system in artistic research. These relationships are now themselves significantly digitally mediated, requiring a change in academic discourse away from artefacts which need discrete research justification towards a more holistic, and often non-linear view of networks that require cultural situation. In doing so, issues of creative accountability [Field 2021. "Changing the Vocabulary of Creative Research: The Role of Networks, Risk, and Accountability in Transcending Technical Rationality." In Sound Work: Composition as Critical Technical Practice, edited by J. Impett, 303-317.Orpheus Institute Series. Leuven: Leuven University Press] and the implications of substituting "creative question" for "research question" are examined within creative research. Early twentieth century ideas related to progressivism which have instrumentalized creative practice, particularly where technology forms part of art making, are challenged by re-KEYWORDS

Association Strategies of Speech Behavior of Communicators in Coding Discourse: An Interdisciplinary Approach Towards Understanding the Role of Cognitive and Linguistic Processes in Communication

“…Over the past three decades, researchers from various fields have studied the significance of narratives and rituals in modern society, including journalism. For example, the case study on the development of the Israeli national culture demonstrated how ancient elements were intertwined and reinterpreted in modern events to create great narratives confirming national identity (Field, 2022 ). A similar pattern was observed in the journalistic construction of news.…”

Influence Mechanism of Structural Characteristics of Interdisciplinary Knowledge Network on College Students’ Innovation Ability

“…One significant development trend of science since the 20th century is its integration with technology and mutual penetration of science, technology, and society, i.e., the transformation from single disciplinary knowledge production mode into interdisciplinary interactive mode [1][2][3][4][5]. Interdisciplinary research has been advanced rapidly and its prosperity also reflects the basic situation for the development of science and technology in modern times, such as complicated scientific structure, organic scientific activity and softened ideal objectives [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. As the optimal mode oriented to practical research topic, interdisciplinary scientific research method has become an important impetus of promoting technological innovation [14][15][16][17].…”

Structural Feature Analysis and Spatial Modeling of Knowledge System Based on Interdisciplinary Integration

“…In the knowledge systems of modern disciplines, the exchange between disciplines becomes increasingly frequent, so it's necessary to organize and manage the interdisciplinary knowledge in an effective way [11][12][13][14][15]. After reviewing relevant literatures, it's found that existing studies about interdisciplinary integration generally discussed the problem of knowledge system construction from the linear temporal dimension perspective, and few of them explored the problem of the structural features and evolution laws of interdisciplinary knowledge system from the overall spatial dimension perspective [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. However, re-interpreting the structural features and internal logic of knowledge system from an interdisciplinary perspective under the action of knowledge flow and revealing the changes in the spatial structure and pattern of the knowledge systems of different disciplines are meaningful works for both the theoretical and practical research on the utilization and expansion of interdisciplinary knowledge.…”
