Our student-led study “The Green Notebook – A Co-Creativity Partner for Facilitating Sustainability Reflection in AI Art Practices” has been accepted to the upcoming ACM IMX conference as early-stage research paper.

Abstract

“AI is becoming increasingly popular in artistic work. Yet tools for calculating environmental impact of AI are more adapted for other contexts than creative practices, making them sometimes hard to comprehend for the non-expert. In this study, based on interviews with AI artists, a design artifact called The Green Notebook was developed: a physical notebook where the AI artist could discuss ideas and receive feedback of their expected environmental impact. The conversational experience between the artist and the interface was and focus group studies. Generally, the participants enjoyed a co-creation process with the enhanced ability to reflect on sustainability of their AI artistic practices. We provide insights of the Notebook’s perceived role and the conversational strategies used by the artists to inform future research. Furthermore, we discuss trade-offs between politeness vs. efficiency and focus vs. integration.”
