Abstract:
A-life sculptures are dynamic art works in which human participants function as co-creators. This paper describes a collaborative project to develop an A-life art work that has as its main component a heterogeneous population of agents. The human interactant is represented within the agent population and their role as co-creator of the artwork is mediated by their presence in the population of agents. This work is concerned with issues of collaborative task performance, artistic co-construction, and the quality of emergence as being dependent on the experiencer of the system (i.e., the system designer, interactant, and/or observer).
