In Towards Co-Creation, Alexa Steinbrück and Simon Maris from XLab put cooperative design processes between humans and machines at the centre of their conversations. In the episodes, they meet makers, artists, and scientists who use artificial intelligence and robotics in their creative practices. Towards Co-Creation documents the discourses in the XLab and traces different perspectives in the interviews.

The aim is to explore AI and robotics as tools for creative cooperation instead of autonomous technologies. How do these technologies change the creative process? What will co-creation look like in the future? And how can we contribute to a realistic and critical perspective that does not shy away from the technologies’ deficits, limitations, and impacts on society.
