AARON

AARON is an early computer program created by programmer Harold Cohen to generate art automatically. Using a set of rules and algorithms, AARON produces drawings and paintings without human intervention, simulating artistic processes. It was designed to explore how computers can mimic aspects of human creativity, producing artworks that often resemble those made by artists. AARON combines structured instructions with randomness to create unique compositions, demonstrating that computers can assist in or inspire creative expression. It represents an important step in the development of digital art and the intersection of technology and creativity.
