Human or Machine: A Subjective Comparison of Piet Mondrian’s Composition with Lines and a Computer-Generated Picture

Human or Machine: A Subjective Comparison of Piet Mondrian’s Composition with Lines and a Computer-Generated Picture

A. Michael Noll

Historical context & research account

Noll generates computer images resembling a Mondrian composition and uses viewer experiments to compare aesthetic preferences and judgments of authorship. This anticipates later debates about machine imitation of style and the recognition of AI images. The technical mechanism, however, remains programmed generation rather than learning from training images.
