Lenovo has partnered with cultural innovation agency Sounds Fun to launch the Make Space Network, an AI-powered digital third space built for creatives, by creatives. Designed to support collaboration, experimentation, and unexpected connection in today’s evolving creator economy, the platform enables creatives, influencers, and collaborators to define their AI-enabled creative identity, discover like-minded talent, and receive prompts for unconventional projects and partnerships.
Martin Magner, co-founder and CCO of Sounds Fun:
“We built this Network not to replace real connection, but to soften the hardest part: the beginning. Leveraging AI to help connect like-minded creatives, the tool removes some of the friction and fear that stops people from reaching out in the first place. It creates a gentler entry point, one where you’re not shouting into the void or forcing yourself into rooms that don’t feel right. Creativity doesn’t thrive in isolation, it needs mirrors, conversations, shared momentum. Sometimes all it takes is one aligned connection to unlock something that’s been stuck for months.”
“The AI landscape is incredibly polarizing. At Sounds Fun we’re always looking to create tools and experiences with emerging tech to ensure this can all mean more creative opportunities, not less. The Make Space Network is more than a network, it’s a permission slip for young creatives to reach, share, and create without fear.”
The Make Space Network is launching in a phased rollout. Lenovo first announced the network Thursday, December 18th followed by editorial collaborations with DAZED Media.
The final phase of the network’s rollout is with a hero film, developed by Sounds Fun and three top creators who are on the platform, Illumitati, Isabella Lalonde, and Oseanworld, and is directed by Maya Margolina. This kicks off a social series featuring these creators to dig deeper into their creative processes and creative ethos.
