    …perspective, compare this to Harold Cohen's AARON generative rule-based system: http://www.aaronshome.com/aaron/aaron/index.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AARON Pamela McCorduck's book about Cohen's work, Aaron's Code, is also a good read.

    There's a good book from 1990 with lots of detail, history, and examples of AARON and Harold Cohen's work: Aaron's Code by Pamela McCorduck. Recommended reading for anyone into generative art, or more generally the intersection of computation and art. Out of print, but available second-hand on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Aarons-Code-Meta-Art-Artificial-Intel...
