enaction provides a helpful way to reframe creativity and potentially solve some of
the long-standing hard problems that both artifi cial intelligence and computational
creativity face. The theory of enaction was used to describe creativity in design,
music, and visual art to show its potential for generalizability and descriptive power.
We also presented the enactive model of creativity that formalized the enaction
theory in a computational model. Finally, we describe how the enactive model of
creativity was helpful in designing two computer colleagues, one in the domain of
visual art and the other in the domain of design. The primary design principle of the
enactive model of creativity is to design interactions like a conversation where each
party tries to make sense of contributions and respond appropriately given the his-
tory of interaction.
