Triumph of the Cyborg Composer
Very interesting article about a person who wrote a computer program to compose music. The program is so good that it can fool humans.
I think this poses really interesting questions about what art is. Does art have to be made by a human to be compelling?
Cope is, once again, challenging the assumptions of artists and philosophers, exposing revered composers as unknowing plagiarists and opening the door to a world of creative machines good enough to compete with human artists. But even Cope still wonders whether his decades of innovative, thought-provoking research have brought him any closer to his ultimate goal: composing an immortal, life-changing piece of music.
