ABSTRACT
Discussion of the notion of creativity and the creative process seems necessary in a topic about compu-
tational solutions going beyond text and numbers because notions such as art creation, creativity, and
the creative process have been considerably broadened due to the input coming from computer science
and computer technologies. Countless options of social networking provide fuel for many forms of online
creative works. Comprehension of the role of creativity in new media art involving concepts beyond the
2D and 3D graphics such as interactive and time-based art, networking, the online, virtual, and Second

creativity in a process of digital art image creation.
