Swiss-born artist Jean Tinguely exhibited a number of “meta-matic” drawing machines at Galerie Iris Clert in Paris from July 1, 1959 , - mechanized table-top sculptures that created a drawing on a piece of paper without further human interference. In order to activate a machines, a custom-minted coin was inserted in a coin slot, which powered the machine on for a fixed duration.

One side of the coin reads: "XAVIER PONTUS VIVA EVA YVES HENRI IRIS" AND "META-MATIC" and on the other "METAMATICTINGUELY JUILLET 1959 PARIS". In plastic coin box with foam backing. Very rare.

32 x 24cm, brown-red ink on white card. An original and unique drawing made by Tresset's artificial intelligence programme which was lined to robotic drawing machines and a camera which examined a still life of a raven, a skull and a stuffed fox (to reference Marcel Broodthaers' Corbeau et Renaud). The AI here used visual identification software to guide the drawing robots to make a number of such sketches -each being different. The works were then sold to visitors to the exhibition.

This example displays a drawing of the skull and is "signed" bottom left by the robot. On the back the work is dated 24/06/2018. VG+.

Price is for both sheets together.
