[ deutsch ]

In a non hierarchic structure all participants have equal rights: artists, users and machines.

One step in this process is to permit an open access to the users of the system, not only to artists or culturally educated participants, but to everybody who wants to take part. We learned that it is possible to create open structures within a project without losing control of the idea or the concept.

Accepting machines as partners, not as mere executive tools, not on the level of just following orders, but as part of the whole organism, is another step. Not the glorification of man-like robots, or machines imitating human abilities , I mean, but to work with machines as partners, with their possibilities, their imperfectnesss and bugs, to accept them as collaborators in a team - working process.

Communication between us and machines in a generative project means that sometimes we are the listeners and sometimes they are.
