This work builds on the trajectory of abstraction’s touchstones, citing Rodchenko’s “basic colour planes” of 1925, passing through Newman’s “zips” of the 1960s, and finally Robert Irwin’s 2006 installation with a similar title. Exploiting a computer, artificial intelligence models, and custom software, Biederman adds dreaming to the question, “Who’s afraid of Red, Yellow, and Blue?” Through the interaction of the machine attempting to resolve the question, combined with Biederman’s own software, a complex collaborative system emerges in this confrontational work.
