Description


Ultra Fractal 5.04 (six-layers, plus the involvement of AARON, Painter X3, and Gimp). I suppose artistically this contains a touch of the Pre Raphaelites imagery of the mid 19th century but in other ways is quite modern in its technical sources. My current computer was acquired just over a year ago, and uses the 64 bit Windows 8.1 operating system. Many programmes were discarded at that time for one reason or another. Some simply wouldn't work in the new environment so were lost. AARON did install but seemingly wouldn't allow images to be printed or copied to disc. That is until last evening when I cracked how to copy its "creations" again. The evidence is here before you, though it doesn't do justice to AARON's capabilities in that the image was severely cropped as the face only was wanted. In reality the portrait required considerable post work in Painter before it could be transferred into GIMP (taken there for the background to be made transparent before being stored in the Image section of UF). Anyone interested in Artificial Intelligence and in Harold Cohen's development of AARON over many years may find the following of interest: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PA-XApZkso (this shows AARON at work, though it isn't the latest version of the programme - I seem to be using something similar to this). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwHQx9BrHQc (this is Cohen talking about his work) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5Reaz1VZ90 (this is an actual lecture given by Cohen in 2013. It concentrates on colour and is quite technical. AARON now creates "art" with an abstract bias, and colour is at its core). http://visarts.ucsd.edu/faculty/harold-cohen (a short biography). Cliff.
