   I am looking for some information on Harold Cohen's AARON project, which
   attempted to teach a computer how to draw 'art.'

   I have quite a few references to articles in the 80's (Leonardo, Angewandte
   Informatik, Visual Computer etc.) but nothing (to my knowledge) within the
   last year or so.

A book on Aaron just came out this year, "Aaron's Code" by Pamela
McCorduck.  Dunno if it is detailed enough to be useful.  Cohen
himself is not very forthcoming with information that would let one
duplicate his efforts.
