    Checking Creativity. Machines, Media and Mathematics in Early Computer, Serial and Conceptual Art
    (BCS Learning and Development, 2018) Rottmann, Michael
    Around 1960 digitalisation and computers started to spreadthroughAmerican society and in their wake camea reappraisal of machines: from a productionmethodto a means of innovation. This art historical case study aimsto show that mathematical machines were usedin early computer, serial and conceptual art not only to explore their aesthetic potential and the mediainvolved. Machines in art of the periodalso conjuredthe interplay of the human and machine in creative processes and thus examinedcreativity itself within human-machinenetworks. Comparison of these art formsde-liversa surprising insight: although one can assumefor all three art movements affinity for the idea and thinking, one encountersambivalence and criticism concerning logical machines and their cre-ative potential. Paradoxicallyput, with mathematical machines and critical algorithmic practices,some artists turnedagainst a kind of “machine thinking”.

    Paul Kleeʼs »Honey-Writing«: Some Reflections on the Relation of Automatism, Automation, Machines and Mathematics
    (Springer, 2020) Rottmann, Michael; Emmer, Michele; Abate, Marco
    Paul Klee is often treated as a painter of dreamlike sujets. At the same time he worked method based, using a kind of automatism (close to surrealist’s écriture automatique) as well as mathematical procedures. This chapter wants to show which roles mathematics plays in his practice and theory of creation, which both will be reconstructed with a special view to Klee’s graphical work, and how this is connected with his machine thinking. One hypothesis is that Klee not only worked with painted and built machines, but also with graphical ones (on paper), based on mathematical procedures, to realise a kind of automation. As the graphical machines enable an oblivion of sense and a liberation from rationality it becomes interesting to examine the relationship of automatism and automation. That is why the approach here is to think automatism, automation, machines and mathematics together, referring to theories of design, draft, notation, diagrammatics and notational iconicity. This chapter contributes to theories of artistic production, media and creativity as well as the current human–machine debate.
