Harold Cohen’s 1989 drawing is a true oddity. It’s not made by hand—Cohen built AARON, a program that draws on its own. AARON picks colors, mixes paints, and even “remembers” past drawings to shape the next one. Cohen started with brushes, then moved to computers in the 1970s. AARON isn’t just a tool. Cohen calls it his creative partner, the first AI to make art on its own. Check out Cohen’s other AARON works at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
