FSC 2025 - Table Ronde : Regards Croisés entre Cognition, Arts et Créativité

The roundtable provides a rich interdisciplinary dialogue, showcasing the diverse ways in which cognition, arts, and creativity intersect. The speakers bring complementary perspectives: Kitty Holley offers an artist’s view on how scientific imagery and sounds inspire her installations, while Olivain Porry discusses his research on cultural evolution and the use of gamification to engage participants in scientific experiments. Ondine Simonot-Berenger highlights the creative challenges of conducting research in theatrical settings, and Olivier Morin addresses the potential and limitations of machine creativity. The discussion is intellectually stimulating and accessible, though it remains largely conversational without deep technical detail. The speakers are credible experts in their fields, and their arguments are coherent, but the lack of specific citations or empirical data limits the scientific rigor. The title accurately reflects the content, and the roundtable successfully achieves its goal of fostering cross-disciplinary exchange. However, the discussion could have benefited from more concrete examples and references to specific studies. Overall, the content is valuable for those interested in the intersection of science and art, offering insights into how creativity manifests in both domains.

The title accurately reflects the content, which is a roundtable discussion on the intersections of cognition, arts, and creativity.
