Harold Cohen, SISTA Distinguished Speaker, will talk on "Collaborations With My Other Self."
Harold Cohen began work on his acclaimed AARON program in the early 1970s, making it one of oldest continuously developing programs in history. During that period his relationship to the program has changed significantly. In this talk he pinpoints some of the key developments that brought about this change and offers some tentative conclusions on the nature of computational creativity.

Harold Cohen, founding director of the Center for Research in Computing and the Arts (CRCA), was an English painter with an established international reputation when he came to UCSD in 1968 for a one-year Visiting Professorship. His first experience with computing followed almost immediately, and he never returned to London. Cohen is the author of the celebrated AARON program, an ongoing research effort in autonomous machine (art making) intelligence, which began when he was a visiting scholar at Stanford University's Artificial Intelligence Lab in the early 1970s. Together, Cohen and AARON have exhibited at London's Tate Gallery, the LA County Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Amsterdam's Stedelijk Museum, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego and many more of the world's major art spaces. They have also been shown at a dozen science centers, including the Ontario Science Center, the Boston Science Museum and the Los Angeles Museum of Science and Industry. Cohen represented the U.S. in the world’s fair in Tsukuba, Japan, in 1985. He has permanent exhibits devoted to his work in the Museum of Computing History in Mountain View, CA, and in the Carnegie Science Center in Pittsburgh.

Jeffrey Vallance's work blurs the lines between object making, installation, performance, curating and writing. Critics have described his work as an indefinable cross-pollination of many disciplines. For research, Vallance has often traveled to meet with appropriate officials in the field. Often an installation is exhibited in a site-specific museum location. Examples of this procedure include such projects as burying a piece of meat (chicken) at a pet cemetery in California, traveling throughout Polynesia in search of the origin of the myth of Tiki, having an audience with the King of Tonga, meeting with the President of Iceland, creating a Richard Nixon Museum, traveling to the Vatican, Turin, and Milan, Italy to study Christian relics, installing an exhibit aboard a tugboat in the Västerbotten Maritime Museum in Umeå, Sweden, curating shows in the fabulous museums of Las Vegas, such as the Liberace Museum, Debbie Reynolds Casino, Cranberry Museum and the Clown Museum, and initiating a campaign for "Preserving America's Cultural Heritage," a federal bill that would establish a benefit fund for all living visual artists in the United States. Vallance curated the first art world exhibition of the Painter of Light™ entitled Thomas Kinkade: Heaven on Earth.
In addition to exhibiting his artwork, Mr. Vallance has written for many publications and journals including Art issues, Artforum, L.A. Weekly, Juxtapoz, and Fortean Times. He has published five books: Blinky, the Friendly Hen, The World of Jeffrey Vallance: Collected Writings 1978-1994, Thomas Kinkade: Heaven on Earth, My Life with Dick, and Relics and Reliquaries.

The Man and the Machine
(http://uanews.org/node/42572)
By the Tucson University of Arizona Communications for the UA News, October 26, 2011
Harold Cohen, an internationally known scientist, will give a public talk at the UA on Oct. 31 about the years he spent developing AARON, a computer program that designs and prints its own original works of art.
For decades, Harold Cohen collaborated with an artificial intelligence artist – a computer program he created in the 1970s that designs and prints its own works of art.
Laida Lertxundi Review: Views from the Avant-Garde, 2011 - Reverse Shot, Issue 30
Submitted by yolietorres on Wed, 10/26/2011 - 1:53pm. ReviewViews from the Avant-Garde, 2011
Reverse Shot, Issue 30, 2011
"Depending on who you talk to, Views from the Avant-Garde, the New York Film Festival’s experimental outpost, has either stubbornly or bravely maintained its core of what could be called the “traditional” avant-garde: screenings devoted to the work of long-canonized elders, a familiar range of formal stylistics, and a stalwart dedication to celluloid filmmaking and projection. And while that emphasis is certainly present, the festival’s programmers, Mark McElhatten and Gavin Smith, deserve credit for bringing to attention the films of younger and emerging artists, works shaped by a range of available and sometimes invented technologies, and, true to the general notion of experimental film itself, films that push the size, shape, and scope of what the medium, or media, might be. Now in its fifteenth year, the mini-festival has returned larger than ever, ...Laida Lertxundi’s A Lax Riddle Unit (2011) also shows a series of gentle transformations. Each of the film’s turns reveals a surprise: a woman suddenly appearing in bed, and, from behind an album cover, her shy smile. With the film’s elements of Los Angeles landscape, houseplants, and James Carr’s plaintive “Love Attack,” continually rearranged like the letters of the title, which is an anagram for Lertxundi’s own name, there is the sense of kaleidoscopic rotation, breathtaking views made with the slightest of movements: changing light, cuts, and slowly revolving camera pans..."
