Harold Cohen is a british artist who created a robot named AARON that paints! Every night, Aaron creates images in his computer memory. After Cohen picks a picture, Aaron spends about 5 hours painting the image. This is so amazing because it is artificial intelligence in action. Robots are starting to create paintings from their memory. The paintings may not be the most eye pleasing things in the world but they are unique because they are a robots view of the world.
This painting makes me think about the progression of art. Could this be the future of the art world? Will robots make our art pieces from now on? The people in this painting are somewhat frightening to look at but at the same time the rich colors make it look good. The swirls in the pattern make me think of Van Gogh a little bit. Perhaps that style of paining will be resurrected through robots like Aaron.
