The intersections between artificial intelligence and artmaking were forged long before today’s AI image making tools, and many foundational works have important ties with drawing and printmaking processes. Organized on the occasion of the exhibition Harold Cohen: AARON at the Whitney Museum of American Art, this conversation will explore Cohen’s groundbreaking AARON project, the software he developed in the late 1960s that drives plotting and painting machines in the creation of new work. Join Christiane Paul, Curator of Digital Art and curator of the exhibition, and Kim Conaty, Steven and Ann Ames Curator of Drawings and Prints, both at the Whitney, for a dialogue about creativity, authorship, and collaboration.
Offered in conjunction with the exhibition Harold Cohen: AARON at the Whitney Museum of American Art.
