Computational creativity and generative artificial-intelligence algorithms pose new challenges to artists and educators. This study investigates the main aesthetic, educational, and methodological contradictions of these technologies, including the influence of Romantic aesthetics, the lack of a proper relationship between digital and traditional culture, and the limits of quantitative approaches to creativity. Based on a literature review, an experimental software design, and artistic practices, demonstrates that digital technology alone is insufficient in developing the essential skills needed for computational creativity in artistic production and education. Inclusive, sustainable, and creative uses of digital media require the development of aesthetically updated proprietary technology rooted in the cultural identities of its origin. Our conclusions highlight the technological role o...

This article describes generative algorithms and Digital Fabrication techniques with organic materials to create complex 3D objects for industrial design, sculpture, and architecture. Experimental artistic production using these algorithms concluded with a solution based on programmable meshes, which use identifiers to control the topological characteristics of vertices during the modeling process. On the other hand, the hybridization of analog and digital techniques was explored through fabrication. Comparing artistic production and hybrid techniques with generative AI, we will discuss topics of Computational Creativity in art, industrial design, and architecture. The programmable meshes solution, combined with hybrid fabrication processes, enables an incredible variety of complex forms, stimulates artistic creativity, and provides flexible feedback to bypass some Digital Fabrication is...
