Temporality of the Digital Creative Process: Individuating Microcosms

\end{flushright}

The preceding paragraphs attempted to better specify the digital creative processes of interest to this research – taking the personal work as a basis – through a form of “spatiality” offered to the artistic gesture, invested in various ways during the creation of each of the works.

The next step will be to describe further – without referring to specific works – on the one hand, the experiential thickness of the digital creative process as it unfolds in time, and, on the other, digital creation as a process in the course of which all the instances involved (artist, images, machine) evolve, and are progressively brought into resonance with the ancestral gestures from which they stem, as in a form of return to gesture accompanied by the emergence of meaning. Two diagrams will help illustrate this: a close-up view (Diagram A) and a wider view of the creative process (Diagram B¹). These diagrams cannot claim to be exhaustive or rigid, since each artistic practice develops internal structures of its own.

1. Diagram B will be supplemented by three derived diagrams, diagrams B.1, B.2 and B.3.↩︎
