First Folio D 1965

Curator: We're looking at Harold Cohen's "First Folio D," held in the Tate Collections. It's a riot of color, isn't it? Editor: Yes, at first glance, it feels almost like controlled chaos, a beautiful explosion of blues, reds, and black forms. Curator: Cohen, who was born in 1928, really pushed boundaries. This piece reflects his interest in artificial intelligence and artmaking. Editor: Knowing that, I see it differently. The splatters feel like data points, the meandering lines like algorithms finding their way. Curator: Absolutely! It's a fascinating blend of human creativity and computer-generated art, questioning the nature of authorship. Editor: It makes you wonder, doesn't it, where the artist's hand truly begins and ends in this process. Curator: Indeed. It's both intellectually stimulating and visually captivating. Editor: A piece that stays with you, provoking thoughts about technology and the creative spirit.
