Harold Cohen's-"Aaron"
The Robot as an Artist
Aaron, the first robot artist, is the brainchild of Professor Harold
Cohen, the British abstract painter. The result of 23 years of research
and $150,000 Professor Cohen has pushed forward into the realm of
artificial intelligence in the development of this unique computer driven
robot..
Most recently Aaron created original paintings at The Computer
Museum in Boston. Aaron "creates" several images in his
computer memory each night. Cohen selects one and for 5-6 hours during
the next day Aaron makes line drawings, mixes colors, executes painting
strokes, and even cleans the brushes and paint cups.
A selection of Aaron's creations were auctioned over the
Internet in May at a reserve price of $2000 each. If you are interested
in purchasing an Aaron painting you can email Harold Cohen at UCSD.
