I had an interesting glimpse of the future as I was editing Beverly Cramp's story about Trace, a fascinating Vancouver-area show that brings together art and robotics. I needed to write captions for drawings made by five robots called Paul, part of an art installation by French artist Patrick Tresset. He designed and programmed the robots. They did the drawings. So who is the artist and how do I label the work? This is a question I suspect we will grapple with more in coming decades given the revolutionary changes predicted with the stunning advances in Artificial Intelligence. I do hope the brain trust at the Chicago Manual of Style is mulling over this question!
