Individual creativity is a signal: a felt intuition, a specific angle on the world. It’s bounded—by memory, skill, and time—yet uniquely textured.
Collective creativity is resonance: signals collide, interfere, and amplify across people (and machines). The work becomes a living system—one that no single mind can fully map.
Following the spirit of Fluxus, we shift focus from polished objects to scores, handovers, and play. Process is not the path to the artwork; process is the artwork.
Authorship becomes a gradient—less a nameplate, more a negotiation. Credit disperses among prompts, edits, misreadings, and machine translations. The “maker” is plural, emergent, and time-based.
Ownership → Stewardship: we tend and pass things on.
Originality → Relationality: novelty arises between nodes.
Signature → Trace: the mark is visible, but never final.
Imagine AI that mails you tiny scores, not ads; encourages remix over ranking; prizes surprise over stickiness. Datasets are commons; models are instruments; usage is performance.
Open prompts: public libraries of prompts/weights as shareable scores.
Distributed authorship: credits as evolving ledgers of human + machine traces.
Careful unpredictability: systems tuned for generative miscommunication and joy.

Creativity is no longer a solo endpoint but a relay. We don’t just make works—we compose conditions for others to continue. The beauty is not in control, but in how gracefully we hand off.
