Cohen, Harold (English painter and computer artist,1928-2016, active in the United States)

Note: Cohen began as an abstract painter. In the early 1960s he taught himself how to program computers, and subsequently developed a computer-programmed drawing machine. He worked in Stanford University’s Artificial Intelligence Laboratory where he developed algorithms that allow a computer to draw lines with the appearance of freehand drawing, a system that he called Aaron. He exhibited works created with Aaron at the Tate Gallery, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and elsewhere.
