TANDEM
Tandem is a software system where a person’s drawing input is ‘imagined’ upon by a computer to suggest an outcome, thereby interweaving the two in a creative dialogue. The project explores how something as fundamentally human as artistic expression can be carried out along with an intelligent machine. Can machines be intimately involved in the process, yet not hijack our own intentions? What would happen if machines were to take part in the imagination process of creation, offering their own creative interpretations based on a visual experience similar to humans? These are the thoughts and questions Tandem welcomes you to investigate.
These projects respond to UN’s Sustainable Goal 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
