Prompting AI Art: An Investigation into the Creative Skill of Prompt Engineering

We are witnessing a novel era of creativity where anyone can create digital content via prompt-based learning (known as prompt engineering). This article investigates prompt engineering as a novel creative skill for creating AI art with text-to-image generation. In three consecutive studies, we explore whether crowdsourced participants can (1) discern prompt quality, (2) write prompts, and (3) refine prompts. We find that participants could evaluate prompt quality and crafted descriptive prompts, but they lacked style-specific vocabulary necessary for effective prompting. This is in line with our hypothesis that prompt engineering is a new type of skill that is non-intuitive and must first be acquired (e.g., through means of practice and learning) before it can be used at a level of high quality. Our studies deepen our understanding of prompt engineering and chart future research directions. We conclude by envisioning four potential futures for prompt engineering.

Skitizam i evroazijstvo - tragovima ruske strateške kulture

Research of the ideological foundations of Scythianism and Eurasianism underlines the conceptual affinity between these two movements, as well as their cause-and-effect relationship. These phenomena are embedded within the particular historical and social context. They are part of Russian socio-political thought during the pivotal years of the Great War and the October Revolution, and represent a medium through which we can reconstruct the prevailing "spirit of the time." Nevertheless, the focal point of this study is oriented towards the future, not the past. This is due to the fact that the ideas emanating from these movements hold a greater contemporary relevance than they did a century ago. We conclude that both Scythianism and Eurasianism are not just part of history, but rather far-reaching visions being realized before our eyes. From a contemporary perspective, the Scythians are pioneers of a "creative era" whose intuition and elan vital set Russia on a new civilizational trajectory. Their significance becomes particularly pronounced on the threshold of tectonic international changes and apocalyptic forecasts that can no longer be remedied through "political reforms", but solely through systemic changes. Similar to the period before the First World War, an avantgarde strategic culture emerges as a suitable solution, especially taking into account the dispersion of global power in the collective West.

A Designer’s Perspective on a Creative Era in Knitwear Design: British Fashion Knitwear 1970–1990

The image of knitting has waxed and waned throughout its history across the UK, being historically associated with women’s domestic work. Nevertheless, hand knitting has demonstrated periods of great creativity and fashionability since the mid-nineteenth century. The twentieth century saw knitting move from the utility of wartime comforts for the troops, to high fashion in the 1920s and 1930s and again in the 1950s, but by the late 1960s hand-knitted clothes were seen as utilitarian and staid. However, from the early 1970s, a new wave of British designer/makers rediscovered the creative potential of knitting; traditional techniques were reinterpreted with color and pattern in a true renaissance of the art. This significant craft-led British design movement repositioned knitwear as fashion, and a new genre “designer knitwear” was born, named a “Knitwear Revolution” by fashion writer Suzy Menkes. This hand-made, textural, colorful, fun knitwear became highly popular “statement” fashion. This article makes an original contribution to fashion and knitwear history by examining this under-researched period, including through personal testimony of the author. It provides new insights into creative approaches to knitwear design and business practices exemplified by British designer fashion knitwear of the 1970s and 1980s and identifies the lasting influence of these small design-led businesses.

The article is devoted to the study of the foundations of religion in the 19th century. In the study of the history of Kazakh literature, works aimed at popularizing and explaining the foundations of religion in the literary heritage have been groundlessly accused for many years, marginalized, and not included in scientific circulation as a significant direction in the field of art. Periodic political and ideological positions have had a significant impact on the radical study of the problem. The main goal of this work is to develop the logic of the most productive creative era in the history of Kazakh literature - the logic of scientific research in the field of historical background, artistic basis, principles of exegetical tradition, which is relevant content of the literary heritage of the XIX century. The article analyzes this topical issue in the direction of the poetry of the classic of Kazakh literature Abai, the religious basis of Shakarim Kudaiberdievich, the largest representative of the poetic school of Abai, the principles of Muslim education in the literary heritage of the Kazakh society of the XIX century. For the first time, the process of Abai's response to Islamic values ​​in the development of the epic tradition was transformed by the poet's students into an integral literary concept. A significant line of Kazakh literature with rich content - new ideas in the context of the artistic field of religious and educational orientation of the XIX century. The article tells about the work of Shakarim Kudaiberdievich and his religious and educational principles. In the study of the history of Kazakh literature, works aimed at promoting and explaining the foundations of religion in the literary heritage have been groundlessly accused for many years and are not involved in scientific circulation as a significant direction in the field of art. Periodic political and ideological positions have had a significant impact on the radical study of the problem. Kudaiberdievich's epics written in oriental style are analyzed and differentiated. They say that Shakarim Kudaiberdievich, who was born before his time and was deeply interested in the essence of religious teachings, took into account the general worldview and position of religion.

From Science, Technology and Innovation to Creativity, Innovation and Entrepreneurship Indicators’ Framework for the Academic Promotion with Impact on Socio-Economic Development

Science, Technology and Innovation research and development publications are not the entire picture of promotional indicators for an academic. We live in the era of creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship whereby issues of socio-economic development are vital. In this regard, the notion of promoting academics based on their length of service and number of research publications as promotion indicators should be a thing of the past. This paper uses secondary data to explore the indicators that are used for academic promotion at the South Africa universities; then proposes the indicators for academic promotional purposes. It uses those indicators to contribute a framework for the promotion of socio-economic development by academics. It concludes by proposing a two-way approach in an academic promotion namely: promotion focusing on (i) research and development, community engagement, and teaching components; and (ii) teaching, creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship. Qualifications (Q), Work/Teaching experience (T), Research and Development experience (R), Community Engagement experience (C), and Professional Bodies Membership (P). The latter indicator forms the QTRCP indicator framework.

Креативность в системе досуговедческих концепций

Creativity and leisure are two closely related factors of human life. However, the change in the angle of analysis of «creativity» as a new professional and economic phenomenon has created a gap between creative and leisure processes. In today’s crisis realities, the creative sector faces practical difficulties. The answer to the current challenges of the creative class can be found by referring to the fundamental leisure concepts, which long before the emergence of the paradigm of the «creative era» predicted and recorded the most important trends in the functioning of modern society. Analysis of the ideas of «civilization of leisure», «knowledge society», «bohemian bourgeois», «creative class», etc. reveals the basic, but neglected in practice, principles of civilizational progress based on creativity, which become the basis for creating a new format for the functioning of creative industries, presented in this work.

융합 인재 시대의 중국어 교육이 나아갈 길

Changes in the industrial structure bring about changes in the competencies required of human resources, and education changes accordingly. This paper focuses on the reality that changes in industry and education are organically related, and by searching for Chinese language education that responds to changes in the times and generations, the Chinese literature major as a humanities opens. We will seek ways to respond to changes in the social and industrial structure of the era of creativity and convergence. The future society of the Fourth Industrial Revolution is a posthuman era in which artificial intelligence is incorporated as a part of life as a super-connected and super-intelligent society. This era demands creative and convergent talents with creativity, convergence ability, collaboration ability, personality, emotional ability, global competency, and self-management ability. University education produces human resources needed by society, and Chinese majors must respond to this. In a future era when the boundary between humans and artificial intelligence becomes blurred, we judge that finding the answer from humans is the only length to maintain human dignity and existence. Therefore, this paper suggests that Chinese language education should be directed toward cultivating the competencies required by society while strengthening the professionalism of Chinese based on an understanding of human beings, and it should be an education that expands the extension of Chinese majors and majors. This paper only presented a rudimentary plan for innovation in Chinese language education. From now on, Chinese experts should promote change and development of Chinese language education through continuous collaboration.

Location patterns of advanced producer service firms in Warsaw: A tale of agglomeration in the era of creativity

Advanced producer services (APS) are recognized as one of the pillars of contemporary metropolitan development. The main goal of the article is to show the relationship between the sectoral and spatial dimensions of metropolisation process by analysing the location patterns and factors of advanced producer services in Warsaw. In particular, the research focuses on location differences between specific APS industries, as well as the role of business districts in this diversification. The research conducted shows that ‘professional’ APS branches prefer city centre, as well as business districts in general, whereas ‘creative’ APS branches prefer to cluster in locations either surrounding the city centre - especially vibrant areas with high quality urban space – or peripheral, non-business districts with good car accessibility, that provide convenient access to clients. Surprisingly, cultural and entertainment amenities do not seem to have a significant impact in either case. We conclude that literature on creative economy that highlights the role of cultural and entertainment amenities has certain limitations in terms of explaining business location patterns and factors in the post-socialist context and therefore might not provide fully adequate practical recommendations for urban planning policies.

The Managerialization of the Arts in the Era of Creativity. The Case of an Italian Opera House

This paper investigates how management discourses developed in the arts industry. The theoretical background applied to answer this question, is rooted in the deep discussion on the role of managerial thinking in capitalistic societies which is provided in Boltanski and Chiapello’s “The new spirit of capitalism” (2005; first version in French “Le nouvel esprit du capitalisme”, 1999), and it is enlarged by a discussion on how managerial discourses have affected the creative and the arts sector in more recent times. The theorizing provided in this paper is based on the analysis of the managerialization process of an Italian opera house. The case study is described by reporting both the “official version” and less official voices, putting particular emphasis on the role played by managerial discourses. The results show how the vocabulary of management is used internally to justify the managerialization process, and externally to communicate with potential investors of the private sector. However it is contrasted internally by some “voices out of tune” which see management principles as conflicting with the artistic mission of the opera house, and their application as detrimental for the artistic quality and as source of frustration for artists and creative professionals. After the analysis of the case study, I provide a discussion of what seems to be a managerialization process investing the arts sector, in contrast to the artification of management which is undergoing in the profit-seeking creative sectors. Following Boltansky and Chiapello’s reasoning, I conclude by questioning about the possibility of a revival of the artistic critique in the cultural sector.

N.A. Berdyaev and I.A Ilyin’s anthropological concepts: intersection and rejection points

This paper presents a comparative analysis of historiosophical anthropological views of N.A. Berdyaev and I.A. Ilyin during the crisis of historicism when Russian thinkers were among the first to hit upon the anthropological basis of historical knowledge. The results of the comparative analysis have showed that at a certain similarity in the biographies of philosophers N.A. Berdyaevs anthropology apotheosis is a bold breakthrough in the religious era of creativity, the era of the third anthropological revelation. I.A. Ilyin understood anthropology in a narrower way - he paid no attention to the beginnings and ends, his dream was to see transformed, free from communism Russia, which gained a national spirit, transformed into the country of true patriots and religious-minded people with a clear sense of justice of the liberal persuasion. There is an important difference between the thinkers: N.A. Berdyaevs Russian idea is the Messianic, I.A. Ilyins one is rather nationalist. In Berdyaevs opinion the meaning is to go beyond the Russianness in unity, without losing their nationality. I.A. Ilyin believed that the future of Russia is a national dictatorship, whereas N.A. Berdyaev believed in Christian personalistic socialism. I.A. Ilyin was for strong government that would lead the people to a brighter future, while N.A. Berdyaev appealed to an inner catharsis of people, to the Christian overcome of internal contradictions and flaws.

Share wars: Sharing, theft, and the everyday production of Web 2.0 on DeviantArt

The development of Web 2.0 led to celebratory accounts about its potential to unleash human creativity. A consensus emerged that described Web 2.0 creative production as universal, democratic, communal, non-commercial, and thoroughly revolutionary. This consensus viewed young, web-savvy media makers as Web 2.0 creativity’s avant-garde: a new generation of producers, born digital, who had upended Romantic notions of creativity, authorship, ownership and related cultural practices. In this paper I draw from a multi-year ethnographic study of young creators’ use of the web from 2007 through 2010 and examine the practice and rhetoric of theft and sharing on DeviantArt, a self-described social network and community of artists. I argue that rather than overturning traditional notions of creativity, participating in DeviantArt helped young creators reaffirm traditional notions of creativity tied to the moral rights of authors to control the distribution of their work. I also demonstrate how these young media makers in turn shaped Web 2.0 ideology and technologies in practice. Seemingly well-established features for “sharing” content were actually uneasy compromises that supported multiple interpretations rather than epitomize the new era of creativity promised by the creativity consensus. These compromises reproduced Web 2.0 in everyday practice.

A market approach to better care at lower cost.

The Affordable Care Act expanded health insurance coverage in the United States but did little to address the structural problems that plague the U.S. health care system. Controlling cost while maintaining or improving access to quality care requires a more fundamental reform based on market principles. Such an approach means aligning the financial incentives of patients and providers to promote smarter spending. It also requires better information and more flexible regulation to promote well-functioning competitive markets. Key elements of these reforms include setting reasonable limits on subsidies for Medicare, Medicaid, and private health insurance; modernizing the Medicare program and adopting reforms that promote competition between traditional Medicare and Medicare Advantage; allowing greater flexibility for states in running their Medicaid programs; enacting smarter regulations to protect consumers without imposing greater inefficiency on the health market; and promoting more direct consumer involvement in all phases of their health and health care. These changes will challenge academic medical centers as a new era of creativity and competition emerges in the health care market.
