From John Lennon and Paul McCartney to Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat, history has no shortage of iconic creative collaborations. Oftentimes, the work that’s produced by a pair of collaborators is distinct from, or at times even transcends, what an individual artist may have made on their own. While the “lonely artist” trope may still exist, it’s safe to say that some of culture’s greatest works are indebted to artistic alliances.

Creative partnerships were also the inspiration behind the new Make Space Network, an AI-assisted tool designed by Lenovo and Intel. A part of Lenovo’s Make Space platform, the tool was born out of a desire to help creatives connect, share ideas and spark new collaborations. While using AI in art is certainly controversial, the way this online and IRL network works is actually extremely simple. After answering a few questions, you’re presented with connections with whom you may be a creative match, and whom you can then connect with through email. It’s a concept that’s reasonably straightforward, yet distinctly 2025. (After all, if we’re fine with dating app matches, why not creative ones?)

The tool is the latest innovation from Lenovo and Intel’s initiative encouraging young creatives to explore emerging technologies. Through interactive experiences, mentorship opportunities and focused resources, Make Space acts as a foundation from which people can freely build upon their relationships with technology. At its launch event in February, for example, digital artists, fashion aficionados and storytellers came together to attend panels, workshops and installations all focused on the intersection between art and technology. Attendees also got to try out the Dazed Archive, a custom AI-powered search engine that, created in partnership with Lenovo and Intel and informed by Dazed’s 30 years of original knowledge, blends inspiration and practical guidance.

If you’ve been looking for a human-centred way to engage with AI, the Make Space Network may be the resource you’ve been waiting for. With any luck, you may even find the Lennon to your McCartney.
