Human-Robot-Robot Interaction: Botorikko Machine Created State
Predrag K. Nikolić, Razali Tomari, Marko Jovanovic · 10th International Conference on Digital and Interactive Arts · 2021
Creativity and creating art are the most significant challenges the new generation of artificial intelligence models are exposed to. Nevertheless, by creating AI agents to achieve and exceed the performances of humans, we need to accept the evolution of their creativity. Hence, there are two possible directions toward the future development of robots' creativity: replicating the mental processes characteristic for humans or liberating machine creativity and leaving them to evolve their creative practices. In the artistic origination of the artwork "Botorikko, Machine Created State", the appearance and generated dialogues between Machiavelli and Sun Tzu artificial intelligence clones resembles Aristotle's Mimesis as human's natural love of imitation and the pleasure in recognizing likenesses and Dadaistic ideas linked to solid social criticism against anti-progressive thinking. We are trying to shift AI as a creative medium beyond traditional artistic approaches and interpretations and possibly accept it as co-creative rather than only assistive.
