**NEW THURSDAY CLUB EVENT @ GOLDSMITHS with HAROLD COHEN on 16 OCTOBER, 5-7PM** BEN PIMLOTT LECTURE THEATRE, GOLDSMITHS AARON, THE WORLD'S FIRST PURE A.I. ARTIST This is a special event co-hosted by the Goldsmiths Digital Studios and the Dept. of Design The AARON software has been continually developed since 1973, hand crafted by Harold Cohen to generate his paintings. Aaron is thought to be the world's first pure A.I. (artificial intelligence) artist. He was created by Harold Cohen who represented Britain at the Venice Biannual in the late Sixties. Shortly after that he decided to relocate to San Diego to create the world's first Artificial Intelligence artist. He named it Aaron after his son. Aaron started out making very childlike pictures but has been learning. Aaron at 30 years of age is now making very good art. This raises some very intriguing questions about art and our relationship with computers. Aaron was recently exhibited at the Bernard Jacobson Gallery. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AARON To find Goldsmiths check http://www.goldsmiths.ac.uk/find-us/ FUTURE EVENTS: Tim Hopkins: Les Noces Project Date: 23 October 2008 Location: George Wood Theatre, Dept. of Drama Time: 19:00 - 21:00 David Littler: Sampler – Culture Clash Date: 6 November 2008 Location: Seminar Rooms, Ben Pimlott Building Time: 18:00 - 20:00 Alexandra Antonopoulou: Once Upon a Time to Ever After AND Dawn Scarfe: Audible Auras Date: 20 November 2008 Location: Seminar Rooms, Ben Pimlott Building Time: 18:00 - 20:00 John Lechte: A Digital Aesthetics: Is it Possible?
