Latent Organism: Embodied Co-Creation with AI
Ninon Lizé Masclef, Adrien Chuttarsing · Creativity and Cognition · 2023
By leveraging recent generative models, Latent Organism suggests a new method for creating 3D objects through tangible interaction. Our artifact enables anyone to create complex and organic 3D shapes using an understandable and sensitive tactile interface. This process of cooperative creation between humans and machines empowers individuals to develop a craftsmanship of artificial imagination modeling. The machine was fed thousands of images of living beings so as to learn a representation of the concept of organic flesh. Then, one can go around in this endless realm of possibility. By employing the machine’s imagination as clay, the subject becomes an active explorer of the latent space.
