Abstract

Este artigo oferece um compromisso conceitual com o processo de criatividade em movimento. No trabalho implantamos uma visão a partir da noção de autopoiese - um termo que engloba “autonomia”, "self" e "poiesis" (que significa "criação" e “produção”) - que foi introduzida pelos biólogos teóricos, Humberto Maturana e Francisco Varela , em 1972, para definir a química de manutenção do self de células vivas e foi, posteriormente, também aplicada aos campos da teoria dos sistemas e sociologia. Neste trabalho, empregaremos a formalização para sugerir como o processo de engajamento de um dançarino com o movimento é capaz de reproduzir e manter-se; explorando, teoricamente, como essa atenção é mantida e como, inevitavelmente, a vontade do dançarino deve esgotar, eventualmente, e como seus movimentos desaparecerem de volta à quietude.

J. Mark Bishop (PhD) is Director of the Tungsten Centre for Intelligent Data Analytics and Professor of Cognitive Computing at Goldsmiths, University of London. He has edited two collections of essays and published over 170 articles in the field of Cognitive Computing: theory  - where his interests focus on the foundations of the swarm intelligence paradigm “Stochastic Diffusion Processes”; application – he has worked on industrial problems in autonomous robotics, neural networks and colour; and philosophical foundations – where he developed the “Dancing with Pixies” reductio, a novel argument against the possibility of machine consciousness. Together with John Preston, Mark has co-edited a critique of John Searle’s arguments against machine intelligence, “Views into the Chinese Room” (OUP, 2002) and, with Andrew Martin, he co-edited a collection of essays on “Contemporary sensorimotor theory”. Mark is particularly interested in Embodied, Enactive, Embedded and Ecological approaches to cognition. 

Mohammad Al-Rifaie, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK

Mohammad Majid al-Rifaie obtained a BSc in Computing and Information Systems from Goldsmiths, University of London in 2005. His background is in computing, craftsmanship and journalism and his artistic interests focuses on the inter-connections between artificial intelligence, swarm intelligence, robotics and digital art. Postgraduate study took him to work with ProfessorMark Bishop at Goldsmiths working in Artificial Intelligence, Swarm Intelligence, Cognitive Science and Robotics. Mohammad’s thesis focuses on the significance of information sharing in population-based algorithms (e.g. Swarm Intelligence). Dr. al-Rifaie’s current research interests currently focus on understanding the notions of freedom and autonomy in the context of computational creativity.
