Conceived in the late 1960s by <a href=\"https:\/\/whitney.org\/artists\/20415\">Harold Cohen<\/a> at the University of California San Diego, AARON was further developed until his death in 2016. AARON\u2019s various manifestations include software that drives plotting and painting machines and software to display imagery on monitors or projectors. The first and only museum to collect versions of the AARON software from different time periods, the Whitney will showcase artworks produced by AARON and highlight its drawing process live in the galleries for the first time since the 1990s. Featuring the Museum\u2019s collection of AARON\u2019s paintings and drawings, along with two versions of the screen-based and drawing software, <em>Harold Cohen: AARON<\/em> offers a comprehensive view of AI\u2019s foundations and its role in artmaking today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"large\">This exhibition is organized by Christiane Paul, Curator of Digital Art, with David Lisbon, Curatorial Assistant.<\/p>\n<p>Generous support for <em>Harold Cohen: AARON\u00a0<\/em>is provided by Judy Hart Angelo.<\/p>\n<p>Additional support is provided by David L.
