Towards Co-Creative Generative Adversarial Networks for Fashion Designers
Originating from the premise that Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) enrich creative processes rather than diluting them, we describe an ongoing PhD project that proposes to study GANs in a co-creative context. By asking How can GANs be applied in co-creation, and in doing so, how can they contribute to fashion design processes? the project sets out to investigate co-creative GAN applications and further develop them for the specific application area of fashion design. We do so by drawing on the field of mixed-initiative co-creation. Combined with the technical insight into GANs' functioning, we aim to understand how their algorithmic properties translate into interactive interfaces for co-creation and propose new interactions.
