Through a selection of 12 artists, Tools of Distorted Creativity questions the notion of creativity that has been instrumental to the development of the personal computer, from its first stationary instantiations in the 1980s to today’s mobile devices. Since its introduction, the personal computer has embodied the dream of the creative machine that allows the user to expand and explore her creative potential, rather than making her a slave of the machine. The personal computer itself is, however, only half of this story about machine-aided creativity. The other and equally important half of the story are the software tools at the user’s disposal within the machine environment. Each of these hundreds of thousands of tools presents certain forms of perception, ways of thinking and modes of acting, that in turn activate certain kinds of creativity. So rather than being a general notion, creativity needs to be recognized as a multiplicative and diverse form of practice. Creativity also needs recognition as the source of open potential for tools yet to be invented.
Vivienne Westwood is part of the GREAT campaign and showcased her latest fashion range at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria on 16 October 2012.
The GREAT campaign invites to the world to take a fresh look at everything Britain has to offer. It centres on areas of British excellence focusing on reasons to invest in and visit the UK.
We want to send out a clear message that Britain is one of the very best places in the world to visit, live, work, study, invest and do business.

Spotted this up my street... I can imagine the conversation:
“I know there’s snow at Mauna Kea sweetie, but I’m sorry, we just can’t take the drive up there right now. It’s a nice afternoon: go outside and play a while.”
In response to Aye Mu's story in our Christmas Appeal, Wold Vision supporters sent messages of support to South East Asia to join in with their 'festival of light'.
Aye Myu lost her husband and 3-year old grandson to TB and now volunteers to help other sufferers get the treatment and care they need.
...and Crayolas- doubles as a messy space for me AND the wee one. In THEORY we can clear it off for dinner parties (HA!).
This was a gift for my friend Steve. He gave me a great light made out of circuit boards which I call my "creativity lamp". I had it in my workshop and turned it on whenever I was working on something. I told people who asked, "It works like a thinking cap."
I wanted to return the favor, so I made a "creativity beacon" for Steve. It lights up with his favorite color: green.
We will close the day with a fireside chat with Hito Steyerl, a visionary filmmaker, moving-image artist, writer and innovator of the essay documentary. With a keen interest in media and technology and a PhD in philosophy, Steyerl brings a unique and critical view on AI’s role in the art world.
