CL–GSS (Challenge Lab – Generative Story Scape) is a collaboration platform and infrastructure that allows multi-user engagement in innovation processes with the use of AI (Artificial intelligence). An immersive environment consists of the main touch screen/desk, auxiliary touch screen monitors, and other inputs (video, sound). AI is an equal participant in the environment and a facilitator of the innovation process, it creates a responsive data scape (to user inputs) and interacts with participants as a dialogue partner in creating the storyline and story scape of the innovation process. CL–GSS can be used for the innovation process where the experts from different fields can adopt the interactive surfaces as the communication and mediation interface between the different knowledge backgrounds they are coming from and for having an AI assistant tailored to the whole research- and process-oriented collaboration. AI helps human collaborators in real time with tasks that would slow them down or present too big of a challenge to execute.

The project brought together an artist, designer and web developer Marko Damiš and Foreach Labs, d.o.o., a company offering various solutions in the field of artificial intelligence and immersive environments.

The project was developed during the S+T+ARTS Residency Challenge Lab hosted by Regional S+T+ARTS Center @Kersnikova.org
