„Nieobliczalna fantazja”? Artysta i „tworzące” maszyny

The aim of the article is to reconstruct the reflections and views of three artists regarding the issues of creation and the status of the creator in relation to drawings made by machines. The first example concerns the products of a mechanical drawing machine constructed by the Belgian artist Francis André, as well as the reception of his creative stance by the Polish writer Jan Józef Szczepański. The second example – selected to signal a significant shift in the understanding of art and the creative process – focuses on the actions and statements of Polish artist Agnieszka Piłat, who collaborates with Boston Dynamic and SpaceX on a project aimed at teaching robots equipped with AI to draw. The examples discussed in the article contribute to the ongoing debate on the status of the artist, creator, and author in relation to machines and the artifacts they create.
