The melding of human creativity and artificial intelligence requires a testing ground where the support systems of human and machine are integrated. The Blackbox is in an incubator where neural networks observe and participate in human labor, learning skills and optimising environments in an evolving matrix of modular workspaces. These are regulated by an outer layer of expanded building systems, an uncanny wilderness where discovery and discomfort stimulate our creativity, and the boundary between natural and artificial is slowly erased.
