Student Name
Andrew Simonetti
Supervised by
Phillip Thurtle

<p>This focus group explores the relationships between art and science with the goal of deconstructing the dominant discourse that creativity is strictly an artistic expression and critically examining the heiarchy of creators. We will begin by crafting a working definition of creativity, then draw from a network of connections ranging from fine art, graphic design, video games, film, physics, and psychology. As we examine these connections we will bring in various topics for discussion including issues related to social justice, media ethics, expression and performance analysis.</p>
