Abstract

In opposition to being the fundamental condition for our existence, the human body has long been marginalized in the field of Human-Computer Interaction. It is now gaining consideration through the idea of embodiment. I want to support the embodied argument by pointing out the role of the body in creativity. A general framework and a criticism of interaction with today's Personal Computers delivers guidelines and starting points for a more conscious design of systems that seek to support creativity.
