First Folio A 1965

Editor: This is Harold Cohen's "First Folio A," created with plotter drawing. The looping lines and subtle grid give it a mysterious, almost map-like quality. What interpretations do you find compelling here? Curator: I'm drawn to how this work challenges authorship. Cohen programmed a computer to create art, questioning the artist's role in creation. How does this impact our understanding of artistic intention and value? Editor: So, it's about the blurred lines between human creativity and technology? Curator: Precisely. It speaks to broader anxieties about technology displacing human labor, particularly within creative fields. Does seeing it in this light change your initial impression? Editor: Definitely. I'm now considering how AI might reshape artistic expression and our relationship with art itself. Thanks! Curator: Indeed. It prompts us to question power dynamics embedded in technology and art.
