Creativity is present in all we do. The 7th Creativity and Cognition  
Conference (CC09) embraces the broad theme of Everyday Creativity.  
This year the conference will be held at the Berkeley Art Museum (CA,  
USA), and asks: How do we enable everyone to enjoy their creative  
potential? How do our creative activities differ? What do they have in  
common? What languages can we use to talk to each other? How do shared  
languages support collective action? How can we incubate innovation?  
How do we enrich the creative experience? What encourages  
participation in everyday creativity?

The Creativity and Cognition Conference series started in 1993 and is  
sponsored by ACM SIGCHI. The conference provides a forum for lively  
interdisciplinary debate exploring methods and tools to support  
creativity at the intersection of art and technology. We welcome  
submissions from academics and practitioners, makers and scientists,  
artists and theoreticians. This year's broad theme of Everyday  
Creativity reflects the new forms of creativity emerging in everyday  
life, and includes topics of:

- Collective creativity and creative communities
- Shared languages and Participatory creativity
- Incubating creativity and supporting Innovation
- DIY and folk creativity
- Democratising creativity
- New materials for creativity
- Enriching the collaborative experience

We welcome the following forms of submission:
- Empirical evaluations by quantitative and qualitative methods
- In-depth case studies and ethnographic analyses
- Reflective and theoretical accounts of individual and collaborative  
practice
- Principles of interaction design and requirements for creativity  
support tools
- Educational and training methods
- Interdisciplinary methods, and models of creativity and collaboration
- Analyses of the role of technology in supporting everyday creativity

:: BERKELEY ART MUSEUM ::
The UC Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive is the visual arts  
centre of the University of California, Berkeley, and one of the  
largest university art museums in the United States. The museum is  
steeped in a history of radical interdisciplinary creativity and  
provides the ideal environment for researchers, practitioners and  
artists to come together to examine and reflect on the role of  
technology in Everyday Creativity.

:: PROCEEDINGS ::
All submissions will be peer reviewed. Printed proceedings, published  
by ACM Press, will be available at the conference and will be included  
in the ACM digital library.

We aim to produce special issue(s) of international journals (to be  
confirmed) from the Creativity & Cognition conference.
