RESEARCH ACCOUNT

Hommage à Paul Klee Nr. 2: work and context

ANTI-AI ARCHIVE · Revised 2026-10-02

Work, material and process

ZKM connects the title’s date to 13 September 1965 and identifies Klee’s Main Path and Side Paths as an inspiration. The program combines grids and circles with room for chance. This is a computational reformulation of formal problems, rather than a trained model copying Klee.
