Abstract
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present an embodied view on human/machine co-creation in general, and musical improvisation in particular.
Design/methodology/approach – Questions and propositions are formed by examining personal work in intelligent, interactive system design.
Findings – Proper consideration of gestural representation and intentionality leads to enhanced potential for collective expression in human/machine interaction.
Originality/value – This approach extends ideas of conversation theory to improvisational contexts based on spontaneous, collective expression.
