Abstract

Collaborative projects in art and technology provide an opportunity to investigate how co-creativity takes place. This paper describes some of the characteristics of collaborative work that were identified from empirical evidence captured during the COSTART project [4]. We examine the way the information was analyzed and the results of that exercise. An approach to modeling co-creativity based on case study data is described and three example models proposed. This work enabled us to consider the implications of the different models for supporting creativity and their relationship to success factors. We conclude that the provision of 'support' for co-creativity in art and technology needs to include ongoing collaborative relationships that are fostered by organizations dedicated to the co-evolution of both art and new technology.
