Harold Cohen
b 1928, London (GB). 1951 finished his studies in Painting at the Slade School of Fine Arts in London, and from 1952–1966 taught there for several years before joining the Visual Arts Department in 1968. His work as a painter has been exhibited widely both in galleries and major museums. During the 1960s, he represented Great Britain at the Venice Biennale, Documenta 3, the Paris Biennale, the Carnegie International. After being appointed guest professor at the University of California in San Diego (USA), Cohen became interested in computer programming and particularly the field of artificial intelligence. On the basis of his early research, he was invited in 1971, to spend two years at the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory of Stanford University as a Guest Scholar. Much of his work since that time has been concerned with building a machine-based simulation of the cognitive processes underlying the human act of drawing.
