Co-Constructive Interaction with Language Models

This doctoral project investigates how explanations can be developed jointly in the interaction between humans and large language models. Building on hybrid interaction systems, explanation as a social practice, and AI literacy, it develops the concept of co-constructive prompting: an iterative process of examining, refining, and extending generated explanations. Three exploratory studies trace how users organize, monitor, and reflect on their interaction with LLMs.

In an interdisciplinary ethnographic study, Juliane Koglin shows how creativity and mediality are renegotiated in a world shaped by algorithms and emergent processes — and what computational technologies mean for processes of articulation and subjectivation in creative and artistic practices.
