Introduction
Kawano’s KD 28 uses probabilistic arrangements of lines and colour in a gouache work on paper. ZKM records the HITAC 5020 and FORTRAN IV, linking an experiment in the logic of creation with material painting.

KD 28: work and context
ANTI-AI ARCHIVE · Revised 2026-10-02
Work, material and process
ZKM places the work within Artificial Mondrian, a title expressing admiration rather than close visual imitation. Probabilities organise line lengths, intersections and colour. This differs technically from training a statistical model on a large collection of paintings.

Historical significance and questions
Editorial interpretation: comparison with Kawano’s earlier designs traces changes in apparatus and formal problems within one practice. Specific works prevent an artist’s name from standing in for an undifferentiated career, while retaining links across that career.
