Abstract:
This chapter defines the concepts of "culture", "multimedia", "creativity", "content" and "user interface" in order to present and document the basic conceptual connections in the book. First, the different social uses and scientific conceptualisations of "culture" are presented, with the aim of identifying the different levels of association between culture and multimedia. The term "multimedia" is mainly a technical one, which describes the possibilities of processing different media by digital technology. In this chapter we draw on the fields of media theories, experimental art and everyday life in order to enrich the technical, conceptual and aesthetic parameters that constitute a coherent multimedia communication environment. The various conceptions of culture are also reflected in the identification of the various fields, actors and conceptions of creativity. In this chapter, we discuss creativity as a cultural technique which, in combination with the research-creation methodology, shapes the proposed practices of content creation in multimedia applications. In this line of thought, the relationship between content and form is not predetermined, but is each time the product of their dynamic interaction and mutual construction. The interface is a field where form and content are correlated. In this chapter we focus on the user interface as a distinctive field of human-computer interaction. By reviewing various studies on interfaces, we distinguish three main modes of association: semantic, figurative and enactive. These functions are reflected in the structure of the following chapters.
