Digitization, Industry 4.0, artificial intelligence – things are increasingly becoming networked, autonomous and smarter. Digital systems self-optimize through deep learning. As algorithms and robots are becoming more and more intelligent, they presumably show more creativity, too. What does it mean for artists, when AI will also stand for creative intelligence in the near future? The performative installation presents three bots chatting about creativity, culture of innovation and optimized communication. The spoken-word piece is based on trademarks containing the word “creative”, manifestos of tech start-ups and a conversation of two facebook chatbots.
