In just a few short months, generative AI platforms have taken the world by storm, leading a technological and design revolution that promises new ways of creating. These autonomous systems challenge our own imaginations and creativity, leaving us to question how we got here, and more importantly, where we might be headed in the future.
Creativity in the Age of AI is a short film created for SPACE10 by Joss Fong and Áron Filkey, using AI models. The video travels back through history to understand how the adoption and adaptation of tech innovations have improved everyday life. It also explores AI’s growing role in the creative process, and what the history of creative tools can teach us about the future.

Introducing Creativity in the Age of AI - a short film created for SPACE10 by Joss Fong and Áron Filkey
The incredible pace and changing landscape of technology can sometimes leave you wondering: where does human creativity fit in all this?
When we look at the innovations that have enabled human expression over the past centuries, they’re easy to sort into two broad groups: Production Tech and Distribution Tech
By the time cameras went into our pockets, only the enthusiasts kept buying film which many would scan to post online.
By re-training large models on more curated data, it’s already possible to collect as many personalised playgrounds as you have time to think up.
AI developers kept scraping the internet to make bigger datasets, to train bigger models on more powerful computers until those models could be prompted to offer ideas of their own.
For the first time, we have a technology with the attributes of a good collaborator, one that offers useful but unexpected ideas, that takes feedback and tries again. Gone are the days when we faced the blank page alone.
