Starting from this question as to what exactly constitutes an image, as of 1972 he compiled his computer program AARON which he continued to work on until his death in 2016. The program was able to independently paint pictures on canvas. Initially more abstract themes, but later figurative painting that Cohen in part then colored until AARON was eventually able to paint in color. While a knowledge of the different styes had to be inputted into the program in program code, it then independently applied the knowledge thus gained.<br><br>In 2025, in other words 50 years later, AI\u2019s impact has shifted mainly into the digital space, although its effects are felt ever more in everyday life: AI replaces human programmers, is a medical assistant obsessed with details, handles the bookkeeping, discharges translation duties, and writes term papers. And the art and cultural world is also starting to feel its impact: By means of a simple command you can already create digital images on your smartphone or write pop songs with the right programs you can master music productions or dub the soundtracks for a film in another language. This trend is still relatively new, but film and video art have since the 20th century been busy exploring the potentials of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-md-5 col-md-offset-1 col-xs-offset-2 col-xs-10'>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<figure itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" role=\"group\" aria-describedby=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n\t\t<img\n\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/images\/2016\/05\/09\/obituaries\/20160509cohen-obit-slide-3VIK\/20160509cohen-obit-slide-3VIK-superJumbo.jpg?quality=75&#038;auto=webp&#038;disable=upscale\"\n\t\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\tclass=\"external-image-class\"\n\t\t\/>\n\t<\/figure>\n\t\n\n<figcaption id=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n\t<div class=\"figcaption-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-label\">Harold Cohen with a painting machine at the Computer Museum in Boston, 1995.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-description\">via Harold Cohen Estate, Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/slideshow\/2016\/05\/09\/obituaries\/harold-cohens-assisted-artistry\/s\/20160509cohen-obit-slide-3VIK.html\">nytimes.com<\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern ' data-pattern='ho\/medien-bild-zentriert'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-5'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-md-6 col-md-offset-3 col-xs-10 col-xs-offset-1'>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<figure itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" role=\"group\" aria-describedby=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n\t\t<img\n\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/austrocult.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Fritz-Lang_Metropolis.jpg\"\n\t\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\tclass=\"external-image-class\"\n\t\t\/>\n\t<\/figure>\n\t\n\n<figcaption id=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n\t<div class=\"figcaption-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-label\">Fritz Lang, Metropolis, 1927, Film still<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-description\">Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/austrocult.fr\/evenements\/metropolis-fritz-lang\/\">austrocult.fr<\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern toggle-optional-headline show-optional-headline toggle-optional-button' data-pattern='ho\/text-option-headline-button'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-5'>\n\n<div  class='row ho-pattern-optional-headline'>\n\n<div  class='col col-md-6 col-xs-12'>\n\n<div  class='padding-bottom-4'>\n<h2 class='ho-sd-h3' style=\"white-space: normal;\">AI in movies \u2013 the theme of social disruption?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-md-6 col-xs-12'>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<p class='ho-sd-body'>It crops up for the first time in 1927 in Fritz Lang\u2019s \u201cMetropolis\u201d. In the somber dystopia on a merciless two-class world in which the workers labor under inhuman conditions to enable the great lives of the rich caste, an inventor creates a female machine-person who triggers a revolt that brings the class system to its knees.

There, people can live out their lusts and violent fantasies in futurist theme parks: By day, they can play gunslingers and kill robots who by dint of their programming cannot defend themselves. By night, they enjoy sex with the robots\u2019 female partners, while the broken robots are being repaired in order to suffer the same fate anew the very next day \u2013 until a system error drives the androids to rise up in fierce revolt. In 2016, the eponymous TV series came out, whose first season highlighted the many different layers to the complex philosophical issue of gaining self-awareness before losing tis way in subsequent seasons in ever more tedious action plots. Crichton\u2019s movie also wrote history in terms of production technology as it was the first film ever to use digital image processing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-md-5 col-md-offset-1 col-xs-offset-2 col-xs-10'>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<figure itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" role=\"group\" aria-describedby=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n\t\t<img\n\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.moviepilot.de\/files\/c59074666b3a114b8ee341b33298925e30fa671351fe36422c5aca7a3485\/fill\/1200\/627\/westworld-yul-brynner.jpg\"\n\t\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\tclass=\"external-image-class\"\n\t\t\/>\n\t<\/figure>\n\t\n\n<figcaption id=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n\t<div class=\"figcaption-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-label\">Michael Crichton, Westworld, 1973, Film still<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-description\">Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.moviepilot.de\/movies\/westworld-3\">moviepilot.de<\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern toggle-optional-headline' data-pattern='ho\/text-medien-video-text-links-video-rechts-option-headline'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-10 col-md-6'>\n\n<div  class='padding-bottom-4  ho-pattern-optional-headline'>\n<h2 class='ho-sd-h3' style=\"white-space: normal;\">Lorem Ipsum<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='mobile-padding-bottom-5'>\t<p class='ho-sd-body'>The question when an AI fundamentally differs from a human and whether they would perhaps act more humanly than their creators is something highlighted in Ridley Scott\u2019s sci-fi classic \u201cBlade Runner\u201d of 1982. The film is loosely based on Philip K. Dick\u2019s 1968 dystopian novel \u201cDo Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?\u201d in which a shabby cop hunts down worker robots who have deserted from their posts and are evidently completely emotional beings. The themes of exploitation and oppression of human-like robots led subsequently to an ecofeminist and Classicism-critical reception of the movie while others analyzed it in terms of themes from the philosophy of religion or for a critique of racism and slavery.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-8  col-xs-offset-4 col-md-5 col-md-offset-1'>\n\n<div  class='lazy-media-play-content-wrapper margin-bottom-7'><figure itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" class=\"lazy-media-inline \" role=\"group\" aria-describedby=\"media_rl9N7W\">\n<script type=\"application\/json\">{\n\"id\" : 37343,\n\"sizes\" : {\"medium\":{\"file\":\"Screenshot-2025-05-14-103528-300x137.jpg\",\"width\":300,\"height\":137,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":6673},\"large\":{\"file\":\"Screenshot-2025-05-14-103528-1024x468.jpg\",\"width\":1024,\"height\":468,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":30318},\"medium_large\":{\"file\":\"Screenshot-2025-05-14-103528-768x351.jpg\",\"width\":768,\"height\":351,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":20249},\"small\":{\"file\":\"Screenshot-2025-05-14-103528-440x201.jpg\",\"width\":440,\"height\":201,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":10288},\"semi\":{\"file\":\"Screenshot-2025-05-14-103528-580x265.jpg\",\"width\":580,\"height\":265,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":14475},\"mobile\":{\"file\":\"Screenshot-2025-05-14-103528-720x329.jpg\",\"width\":720,\"height\":329,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":18815},\"original\":{\"file\":\"Screenshot-2025-05-14-103528.jpg\",\"width\":1068,\"height\":488}},\n\"alt\" : \"Red text &quot;BLADE RUNNER&quot;

As early as Fred McLeod Wilcox\u2019s 1956 sci-fi classic \u201cForbidden Planet\u201d, a researcher finds a machine on a remote planer that has infinitely potentiated human abilities and yet has completely destroyed the culture that once created the machines. In the \u201cTerminator\u201d movies, the human-like, genuinely masculine Cyborg acts either as a merciless killing machine that seeks to exterminate humankind or as the white knight who is humanity\u2019s sole hope and at the end sacrifices itself for us. Even in children\u2019s movies like \u201cThe Mitchells vs the Machines\u201d (2021) the AI sets out to eradicate humankind \u2013 this time with almost absolute powers granted it by a stupid Silicon Valley CEO.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-12 ho-pattern-optional-button padding-top-4'>\n\n<div  class='wp-block-ho-buttons '>\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-buttons-item\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.de\/\"  target=\"\" role=\"button\" aria-pressed=\"false\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"ho-button is-primary mobile-full-width\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ho-button-label \">Lorem Ipsum<\/span>\n\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern toggle-optional-headline' data-pattern='ho\/text-medien-video-text-links-video-rechts-option-headline'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-10 col-md-6'>\n\n<div  class='padding-bottom-4  ho-pattern-optional-headline'>\n<h2 class='ho-sd-h3' style=\"white-space: normal;\">Lorem Ipsum<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='mobile-padding-bottom-5'>\t<p class='ho-sd-body'>Other films about AIs set out to explore gender relationships. In Spike Jonze\u2019s \u201cHer\u201d (2013) a man who works as a ghostwriter compiling personal letters for other people but is himself unable to maintain a deeper relationship, falls in love with an intelligent operating system with whom he exclusively communicates verbally. Alex Garland\u2019s \u201cEx Machina\u201d (2014), by contrast, reads like an allegory on the patriarchy: a female android acts as a complete projection of its sexist inventor and for his sensitive counterpart who seeks to save the AI which he perceives as a virgin in distress. Sandra Wollner\u2019s decidedly disturbing movie \u201cThe Trouble with Being Born\u201d (2020) tells the story of a child-like AI whose owners created it in the image of their daughter, who has disappeared. Alongside complex moral issues in our relationship to AI, the film focuses on the emotional world of the android, ergo on the sorrow in knowing that it is a thing and precisely not a human.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-8  col-xs-offset-4 col-md-5 col-md-offset-1'>\n\n<div  class='lazy-media-play-content-wrapper margin-bottom-7'><figure itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" class=\"lazy-media-inline \" role=\"group\" aria-describedby=\"media_rl9N7W\">\n<script type=\"application\/json\">{\n\"id\" : 37345,\n\"sizes\" : {\"medium\":{\"file\":\"Screenshot-2025-05-14-105729-300x124.jpg\",\"width\":300,\"height\":124,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":6024},\"large\":{\"file\":\"Screenshot-2025-05-14-105729-1024x425.jpg\",\"width\":1024,\"height\":425,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":36014},\"medium_large\":{\"file\":\"Screenshot-2025-05-14-105729-768x319.jpg\",\"width\":768,\"height\":319,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":22823},\"small\":{\"file\":\"Screenshot-2025-05-14-105729-440x183.jpg\",\"width\":440,\"height\":183,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":9960},\"semi\":{\"file\":\"Screenshot-2025-05-14-105729-580x241.jpg\",\"width\":580,\"height\":241,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":14991},\"mobile\":{\"file\":\"Screenshot-2025-05-14-105729-720x299.jpg\",\"width\":720,\"height\":299,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":21641},\"original\":{\"file\":\"Screenshot-2025-05-14-105729.jpg\",\"width\":1092,\"height\":453}},\n\"alt\" : \"Film title &quot;The Trouble with Being Born&quot;

Giulia Bowinkel relies on visitors using Virtual Reality goggles in the exhibition spaces to encounter the avatars they have programmed and which present AI-generated thoughts on the world. The duo uses digital worlds and AI alike as tools and as a medium of reflection: In their virtual chamber play \u201cPoly Mesh\u201d (2020), the viewers are the human sand in the ointment who come across an AI whose future forecasts have gone nowhere, but by virtue of the viewers\u2019 presence embarks on a new loop of computations. <br><br>In his essayistic book <a href=\"https:\/\/spectorbooks.com\/book\/alexander-kluge-der-konjunktiv-der-bilder\">\u201cDer Konjunktiv der Bilder \u2013 Meine virtuelle Kamera (K.I.)\u201d (The Conditional Tense of Images \u2013 My virtual camera (AI)\u201d<\/a> that came out last year, German filmmaker and author Alexander Kluge discusses the new type of image that is now possible thanks to text-to-image generators. An essential property of film art, Kluge suggests, is that \u201cthe material and the technology behave rebelliously toward all predefined intentions\u201d. The mistakes produced by image-generating AIs, currently still in their infancy, are thus a beneficial element that almost always exclusively have an \u201cinner reason\u201d. The order of the day must therefore be to always utilize the advantages of technology until these errors are completely eradicated and all that remains is a mediocre world of images. As a digital appendix, the QR codes in the book take you to short films available for streaming online that present Alexander Kluge\u2019s worlds of images produced using AI. <br><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-md-5 col-md-offset-1 col-xs-offset-2 col-xs-10'>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<figure itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" role=\"group\" aria-describedby=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n\t\t<img\n\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.banzbowinkel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/KRO4006.jpg\"\n\t\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\tclass=\"external-image-class\"\n\t\t\/>\n\t<\/figure>\n\t\n\n<figcaption id=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n\t<div class=\"figcaption-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-label\">Palo Alto, KM Halle f\u00fcr Kunst und Medien Graz, exhibition view, 2018<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-description\">Foto: Markus Krottendorfer, Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.banzbowinkel.de\/\">banzbowinkel.de<\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern toggle-optional-headline' data-pattern='ho\/text-medien-bild-text-links-grosses-bild-rechts-option-headline'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-1'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-12 col-md-6  mobile-margin-bottom-4'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-1 cf-side-5'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-12'>\n\n<div  class='mobile-margin-bottom-5'>\n\n<div  class='padding-bottom-4 ho-pattern-optional-headline'>\n<h2 class='ho-sd-h3' style=\"white-space: normal;\">Lorem Ipsum<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\t<p class='ho-sd-body'>In the context of what US-Turkish media artist Refik Anadol terms a veritable \u201chuman-machine collaboration\u201d, for several years now he has created huge installations that he terms \u201cAI data painting\u201d. To this end, an AI is fed with thousands upon thousands of Terrabytes of publicly available photos and then independently creates from these data fluid animations that are projected onto a huge screen. While the installations produced in this way show impressive worlds of colors, one cannot discern any processing AI consciousness which according to the artist is busy dreaming. In his piece \u201cDvo\u0159\u00e1k Dreams\u201d (2023), the AI was fed with countless photos of Czech composer Anton\u00edn Dvo\u0159\u00e1k and likewise with audio recordings of his compositions. In terms of images and sounds, the result is a huge, billowing entity that is not a creature in itself, only a form devoid of content. <br><br>This is perhaps quite logical that in a world filled with increasingly almost content-free images of yearning, such as artist collective Troika recently presented in their video piece \u201cBuenavista\u201d (2025) at SCHIRN. In the middle of it all a hairy robot that in the face of the countless artificially generated landscapes surrounding it, seems to become ever more restless only swiftly to squirm in exhausted ecstasy. <br><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-md-5 col-md-offset-1 col-xs-offset-2 col-xs-10'>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<figure itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" role=\"group\" aria-describedby=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n\t\t<img\n\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wp-apps\/imrs.php?src=https:\/\/arc-anglerfish-washpost-prod-washpost.s3.amazonaws.com\/public\/UKTMETON2ZA75BI5ZANKPVYMUU.jpg&#038;w=1200\"\n\t\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\tclass=\"external-image-class\"\n\t\t\/>\n\t<\/figure>\n\t\n\n<figcaption id=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n\t<div class=\"figcaption-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-label\">Refik Anadol in front of his work \u201cDvo\u0159\u00e1k Dreams\u201d at the Kennedy Center&#8217;s Reach<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-description\">Elman Studio LLC\/0xCollection\/Kennedy Center, Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/dc-md-va\/2024\/09\/11\/refik-anadol-dvorak-dreams-kennedy-center\/\">washingtonpost.com<\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artificial intelligence is here to stay in our everyday lives, be it as a tool in creative-artistic processes or as a central topic in films and series.
