Draft:Intercreativity

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The concept was introduced by Tim Berners-Lee (1999) in his book Weaving the Web[1]. It was used to refer to the interconnection of the Internet and creativity, and also to articulate the close link between interactivity and creativity, as it it underscores the possibilities of creating together, and being creative together[2].

In Tim Berners- Lee's recent book This is for Everyone(2005), he cites Wikipedia as an example of what intercreativity can do. He writes:

Wikipedia has grown to contain millions of articles on every subject known to our species – an invaluable repository of human knowledge that I consider one of the modern wonders of the world. What made this system work was intercreativity – a group of people being creative. Wikipedia is probably the best single example of what I wanted the web to be[3].

and called intercreativity as the core principle of the Web[4].

A series of writers such as Graham Meikle(2002)[5], Jean Elizabeth Burgess(2007).[6] have worked on this concept.
