Co-creativity fusions in interdisciplinary augmented reality game developments

This paper recognizes and reflects upon the important co-creativity roles and intimacies that arts students may play in increasingly interdisciplinary environments where research and design potentials of evolving new media technologies are being explored. We report a real-world case study where two students played the dedicated artists´ roles of art and game design developments while working with staff researchers from technical, design and social science (education) backgrounds to develop an outdoor location-based handheld augmented reality game project. The paper relates how a clearer understanding of such didactic situations can empower and invoke co-evolutions of both art and technology.
