Harold Cohen RIP

Artist who pioneered art with code and robotics passed away on the 27th of April 2016.

He developed AARON, code which could generate unique visual compositions in 1973, starting with abstract and later with more representational subjects in the 80s and 90s. In the 90s, these compositions were then drawn and painted by plotters onto canvas. Here is a video of a brief interview with the artist:
