The Digital Review is pleased to announce a call for submissions for our Spring 2024 issue, titled "Augmenting Creativity." We invite scholars and creators to submit born-digital works that delve into the concept of machine-augmented creativity in light of generative AI's growing influence on cultural production. Our scope broadens to a range of domains and creative modes, including but not limited to:
How does artificial intelligence, a tool developed from human innovation, shape and redefine our human creative potential? Does it unlock unprecedented avenues for expression and thought or does it risk diluting the uniquely human aspects of the creative process? Beyond mere assistance, how do we negotiate the ethically precarious ground of allowing an AI—a non-human entity—a seat at the creative table? Or a role in the cultural economy where human creators make a living? How does AI challenge our conventional ideas of authorship or representation? What does it mean for the future of collaborative works where machine intelligence plays a significant role? Central to our exploration is understanding human creativity itself: its essence, its boundaries, and how our partnership with any technology might reshape or redefine it.
We welcome submissions from scholars, artists, writers, coders, educators, researchers and others, irrespective of their field or the completion stage of their work. We're also open to considering previously published pieces, with the condition that previous uploads are removed upon our issue's release. Collaborative submissions are encouraged.
The Digital Review is committed to promoting diversity and inclusion. We strongly encourage submissions from individuals representing minority, queer, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities, as well as other underrepresented groups. We believe that a wide range of perspectives enriches our exploration of AI creativity and contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of its implications.
Authors are invited to submit a 300-500-word abstract for a digital work that is either completed, in-progress, or will be finished by April 15th, 2024. Please note that full pieces are not due at the time of submission. The abstract should address the issue's theme and describe the expressive form the work will take. If possible, include a link to either...
While priority will be given to works that employ AI tools in some aspect of their production, we also welcome thoughtful critical and/or analytical multimodal essays or videos about augmented creativity. If you submit creative art or writing created with AI tools, please include a short introductory essay that directly addresses the issue's theme.
Submissions are accepted through our simple online portal until January 15th, 2024: SUBMISSION FORM.
