Description

Machines that make art, music and text are the subject of “Portrait of the Machine as a Young Artist” (p. 124), by J. R. Pierce of Bell Telephone Laboratories. Its opening spread prints in color a computer-generated pattern from research on vision above a painting by one of Jean Tinguely’s machines. In A. Michael Noll’s test of a computer drawing in the style of Piet Mondrian, Pierce reports, 59 percent of 100 viewers preferred it to the Mondrian.
