Why it’s interesting
Shown at Ars Electronica in 2025, Co-Creator is an interactive installation presented with the visual language of a vending machine. It uses AI and machine learning to produce personalized images while raising questions about authorship, ownership, and trust.
Generative AI becomes a physical encounter rather than another prompt box. The machine-like setting makes the exchange feel transactional and invites visitors to question what they receive.
How to try it
Use the official Ars Electronica archive to inspect the installation image and project record. The exhibition has ended, so this is an archive experience rather than a currently available public installation.
Use the official page or demonstration as the current reference. Do not assume that a staged installation, limited experiment, account-gated demo, subscription feature, or physical product is available everywhere.
