Machine Arts Magazine | NO. 1

Welcome to the debut issue of Machine Arts Magazine, a new magazine dedicated to shining a light on the human element of machine-assisted art. This quarterly publication explores the rich intersection of creativity, code, and computer-controlled machines, highlighting the artists, ideas, and innovations shaping the future of machine-assisted expression.

This issue features Jenn Karson, a Vermont-based artist who uses AI and CNC tools to "heal" damaged leaves and explore the ecological potential of artist-made datasets. We sit down with generative art pioneer Mark Wilson for a rich interview about code, chaos, and his 40-year journey in computer art. The legacy of Harold Cohen lives on in a feature on how Bantam Tools helped bring new work by the late artist to life using his original AI code and custom-built plotters. UK artist Andee Collard shares insights into his solo exhibition, The Machine Garden, which explores the interplay between mechanical and organic systems. Rounding out the issue, James Merrill offers a detailed guide to fountain pens, covering everything from pen selection to ink and paper choices for generative work. Plus plenty of surprises, tools, and inspiration.

Printed on premium paper and packed with visuals,  this issue is a collector-worthy celebration of the new wave of Machine Arts.
