Abstract: Collective work in digital arts defines a practice, which entails an interaction of various actors in creative processes, which may have generative features. In the current theses, we propose the construction of a point of view from complexity to study these processes as complex adaptive systems. The specificity in this work is related to the concept of storied spaces an artifice to design a network of emergent meanings from the inter-relations amongst elements of the system. The adoption of this standpoint implies integrating self-observation into the system, granting visibility of itself to the self- organizing complex from the flow of information to the construction of memories and transitory images on the threshold between impression and imagination.
