An Embodied Approach to AI Art Collaboration
Christopher P. Andrews · 2019
AI art tools based on interactive evolutionary computation provide a form of creative collaboration between the user and machine. While some see the involvement of the user in the process as indication of the failure to truly develop computational creativity, another perspective would view it as an instance of a distributed system leveraging the strength of both the human and the computer. ImageSpace was developed to explore this dynamic further, providing an embodied interface based on spatial layout to make the communication more fluid. This paper discusses the way information is exchanged through interaction with the space, and how it can improve the experience of creating artwork with the system.
