Paper long abstract:
Humans are organisms of a creative sort. We make new things that scaffold the ecology of our minds, shape the boundaries of our consciousness and form new ways to engage and make sense of the world. This paper adopts the perspective of Material Engagement Theory and introduces the notion 'creative thinging' to articulate the inseparable link between enactive cognition, affect and materiality. Using different examples of creative material engagement I will be exploring the nature of aesthetic consciousness as a situated process.
