Kunst Und Konstruktion / Art and Contruction - by Herbert W Franke Paperback

Book Synopsis

German-english edition>/p>

Herbert W. Franke is regarded as one of the world's first theorists ofalgorithmic processes, artificial intelligence, and digital media. In his publication Kunst und Konstruktion / Art and Construction, it becomes clear that he was a radical pioneer of an 'artistic substance to technology.' This volume in the edition presents his idea that future art would be shaped by cooperation between human beings and machines. Franke formulated this notion as early as 1957, making Kunst und Konstruktion / Art and Construction a seminal text. At a time when mathematics, the digital, and artificial intelligence are redefining our understanding of creativity in a radical way, Franke's ideas seem well ahead of their time. Kunst und Konstruktion / Art and Construction is a book that still challenges us to rethink art in the light of a technologically determined world.
