Synopsis

What is art-making? What is it in virtue of which an artifact counts as a work of art? In this book, Melvin Chen contends that art-making is best understood in the context of problem-solving. Works of art are various ways in which artists solve problems and overcome obstacles, while typically exhibiting creative thinking. Using the theory of problem-solving, its theoretical milieu, and various philosophical tools, Chen builds a robust, coherent, and consistent computationalist approach to art-making and the production of works of art. This computationalist approach to art-making and the production of works of art, in turn, is articulated against the backdrop of an information-theoretic philosophy of art. This computationalist approach takes discussions in the philosophy of art into the twenty-first century.
