This track explores
the dynamic interplay between human emotion,
creative practice, and emerging technologies. It
examines how affective computing, biosensing
technologies, generative AI, and interactive media
are reshaping both the creative process and the
products of communication design. The track brings
together researchers and practitioners from
design, human-computer interaction, affective
science, creative technologies, and communication
studies, offering a dedicated space for
understanding how emotional intelligence informs
creative decision-making and how emotionally
resonant communication can be intentionally
designed in an increasingly AI-augmented world.
