Reimagining Human-AI Co-Creation through Encountering (Sour)Dough
Group experience of exploring tactile conversation with non-human agents while talking about human-AI co-creation, 2023
Navigating the realm of human-AI co-creation prompts pressing questions: Can we truly co-create with AI if we can’t articulate the emotional core underpinning our actions? As we acknowledge this chasm between AI and human realities, we must reflect on the ethics of the collaboration. Is it equitable to involve AI in this co-creative process without attaining a mutual understanding?
This experimental workshop was a participatory kneading session where we explored together these questions further, using the tactile and collaborative process of sourdough preparation as our guiding metaphor.
