There is a development in art that seems to have some overlap with a meta-design approach to interaction. Case studies from the field of interactive art highlights a relationship between authorship and intersubjectivity—in terms of a relation between creation and design—that takes place in interactive art and that is particularly exploited within some artistic collaborative systems based on digital networking.
This relationship raises a number of questions: How do these systems sustain the processes that lead to intersubjective creativity? How can collaboration lead to co-creation? Through which motivational paths is co-creation experienced and intersubjective creativity exploited?
Showing the results of the analysis carried out on Poietic Generator, Open Studio, and SITO, at L3D from May to June 2002, this presentation will try to provide some answers and some elements of discussion.
