* Systems that create drawings, images, animations, sculptures, poetry,
text, designs, webpages, buildings, etc.;
* Systems that create musical pieces, sounds, instruments, voices, sound
effects, sound analysis, etc.;
* Systems that create artefacts such as game content, architecture,
furniture, based on aesthetic and/or functional criteria;
* Systems that resort to artificial intelligence to perform the analysis of
image, music, sound, sculpture, or some other types of artistic objects;
* Systems in which artificial intelligence is used to promote the
creativity of a human user;
