An acclaimed critic, journalist and songwriter-musician tells the story of art’s relation to machines, from the Baroque period to the age of AI
The Uncanny MuseFrom the life-size mechanical doll that made headlines in Victorian London to the dolls modern AIpop star counterpart, Hajdu traces the fascinating, varied ways in which inventors and artists have sought to emulate mental processes and mechanize creative production. For decades, machines and artists have engaged in expressing the human conditionalong with the condition of living with machinesthrough player pianos, broadcasting technology, electric organs, digital movie effects, synthesizers, and motion capture. By communicating and informing human knowledge, the machines have exerted considerable influence on the history of artand often more influence than humans have been willing to recognize. As Hajdu proclaims: before machine learning, there was machine teaching.The Uncanny Muse
