The Co-Creator, developed by Ars Electronica Solutions, explores creative processes through artificial intelligence and machine learning. This interactive system demonstrates how technology can serve not only as a tool for artists, but also as a research instrument to analyze the interplay between humans, machines, and artistic creation.
In an art-theoretical context, the Co-Creator opens up new perspectives on style formation, aesthetics, and machine creativity. How do algorithms influence artistic expression? What new visual languages emerge through AI-generated art? These questions are central to this research. Visitors can scan their own creative images and further develop them using AI, allowing them to experience firsthand the impact of technology on artistic processes. As a so-called Art-O-Mat, the Co-Creator is the first digital mediation tool to be featured at the Museum der Moderne Salzburg. The Co-Creator represents a significant step in the exploration of digital art practices and the interface between humans, algorithms, and creativity.
Ars Electronica Solutions conceives, designs, and implements interactive, multisensory experience worlds for both temporary and permanent exhibitions, brand environments, trade shows, and events. The team develops customized projects for international clients, transforming ideas into immersive digital experiences.
