{"product_id":"harold-cohen-aaron-kcat-postcard","title":"Harold Cohen \"AARON KCAT\" Postcard","description":"The Whitney's 2024 exhibition \u003ci\u003eHarold Cohen: AARON\u003c\/i\u003e traces the evolution of Harold Cohen’s AARON, the earliest artificial intelligence (AI) program for artmaking. Leaving behind his practice as an established painter in London, Cohen (1928–2016) conceived the software in the late 1960s at the University of California, San Diego, and named it AARON in the early 1970s. The title alludes to the biblical figure anointed as speaker for his brother Moses, and questions how artistic creation is often glorified as a form of communication with the divine. Cohen understood his work with AARON to be a collaboration, and he devoted his life to exploring the potential of artificial intelligence to translate an artist’s knowledge and process into code. This oversized postcard features Cohen's \u003ci\u003eAARON KCAT\u003c\/i\u003e (2001).","brand":"1-100190","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52622522024226,"sku":"1016289","price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/1675\/3698\/files\/1016289.png?v=1790270691","url":"https:\/\/shop.whitney.org\/products\/harold-cohen-aaron-kcat-postcard","provider":"Whitney Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
