Harold Cohen made this drawing in 1987 using a computer program he wrote himself. The software could turn real-world shapes into lines on paper. This image shows human figures and plants, all drawn in outline style. Cohen started Aaron while working at Stanford’s Artificial Intelligence Lab. By the late 1980s, the program could create detailed line drawings like this one. Look up the artist Cohen, Harold next.
