The art in question is from 1923. I'm just guessing, but a possible reason the OP posted this is because of the parallel to modern AI tools. This art piece was created by an artist communicating with a technician in a remote factory. The artist conveyed what he wanted to the technician, who then created the piece. This is similar to how a modern Prompt Engineer or AI Conductor works with a tool like DALLE2 or Midjourney or Github Copilot to create a new work by description alone.

Fascinating. As the video says: Art and technology - a new unity.


Long before inkjet printers were invented, the artist displayed a close-up of the color alignment test page of an inkjet printer.


Would this qualify as the world's first digital color telefacsimile?
