AI not only fosters new collaborative practices between humans and machine; it also creates new cooperative frameworks across the creative ecosystem that often extend beyond particular fields of art.
Will AI usher in an era where art becomes more collaborative and iterative? Artists from various fields, including music, games, and performative arts will share their experiences of cooperation: how they collaborate within collectives, how they include protagonists, communities and audiences in their creative process and how they work with technology companies.
