Harold Cohen was an artist and programmer. He created AARON a digital painting program. Visit this You tube channel: / @jayart5980 Music: • Video • Video
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. I worked for Harold as a kid and young man in the '80s, and helped build the robotic arm part of the painting machine shown in your video. Fun Fact: The large overhead wire harness arm 4:16 is exhaust pipe tubing we had bent at a muffler shop in San Diego. :)
Wow! I didn't expect such a great and interesting message. It amazes me that you knew Harold personally! It was definitely a very exciting experience to work with him. The exhaust pipe is a clever solution.🤣 Thanks for the comment! 😊👍🏻
@@Bilder_Rausch Yes, I knew him. He was my employer, mentor and in some ways, friend. He was a judge at the San Diego Science and Engineering Fair. He saw my robotic arm project there, then invited me to his studio for a tour. What I didn't know was it was a job interview in disguise! He offered me a job to work for him that summer. I was 17 at the time. He taught me how to use machine shop tools at a shop at UCSD he had access to. So I machined and built the robot arm, to his specs. Another fun fact: He didn't like any of the commercial CAD software available at the time, so he wrote his own CAD software, to create "blueprint" drawings for me to machine parts from. :) Did you work with him on this video? Or was he already deceased?
Can’t say I am a fan of his works per se, but love his ingenuity and philosophical exploration of colour and art as a medium. Equally impressed by him pioneering somewhat technological art. But where I was taken in was in recently reading ‘What is an image?’ And found his most profound statement: “That, finally, defines my use of the word “image”. An image is a reference to some aspect of the world which contains within its own structure and in terms of its own structure a reference to the act of cognition which generated it. It must say, not that the world is like this, but that it was recognized to have been like this by the image-maker, who leaves behind this record: not of the world, but of the act.” Being into philosophy myself, this reeks of Wittgenstein’s “The world is the totality of facts” + “The limits of my language are the limits of my world” when combined with Kant’s Transcendental Idealism where the mind has only access to the ‘World of Representations’ and synthesises the laws we find there. So In a sense this comment applies not to life, but to human logical language and of course the human mind, cognition and perception. Interesting man. Thanks for a curios video on him!
@@Bilder_Rausch Glad it was of interest. Thank you for such a great video covering the man. I must say in re-reading the comment I got carried away with terms. The simple idea - which I didn’t really say - is that the way the world appears to us in our subjective ways (both perceptually and in the meaning sense), contains a lot of information about how we cognised it, perhaps more so than information about what we are cognising. Anyway! Thank you! :)
I could say this as a great channel that every artists can watch....I am expecting a great hit from your videos...I would love to watch each and every videos of yours with great interest...hats off✌️👌
Small note, 2:57 . Turtles are a catch-all term for robots driven by 2 motors on either side, they were first built in the 1950s, and the basic design is still common today in educational and enterprise settings. The first guy to build them was Grey Walter, according to Wikipedia. (one of the robots we sell is technically a turtle, so I knew right away lol)

Wow, thanks for this interesting perspective! I learned something from your comment! Thanks! 😊

Thank bro😁😁😁
Amazing 🔥
please tell me how to do best sunset
Wow
İm first
And now second to And three to
Is it still working?
polyportrait is the exact OPPOSITE of what Harold was interested in...
Bruuuuuuuuuuuhhh
Could you put my account in your video please 👍🥰🤗
Fuck off
👌
