What is art-making? What is it in virtue of which an artifact counts as a work of art? In this book, it is contended that art-making is best understood in the context of problem-solving. Works of art are various ways in which artists solve problems and overcome obstacles, while typically exhibiting creative thinking. Our theoretical support will hail chiefly from the theory of problem-solving, its theoretical milieu, and various philosophical tools that will help us to build a robust, coherent, and consistent computationalist approach to art-making and the production of works of art.

What is art-making? What is it in virtue of which an artifact counts as a work of art? In this book, it is contended that art-making is best understood in the context of problem-solving. Works of art are various ways in which artists solve problems and overcome obstacles, while typically exhibiting creative thinking. Our theoretical support will hail chiefly from the theory of problem-solving, its theoretical milieu, and various philosophical tools that will help us to build a robust, coherent, and consistent computationalist approach to art-making and the production of works of art.
