the

late

1960s,

abstract

painter

Harold

Cohen

had

represented

Britain

at

important

festivals

with

his

oilpaintings

and

was

seeking

a

new

challenge.“Maybe

there

are

more

interesting

things

going

onoutside

my

studiothaninside

it,”

he

thought.

Cohen

turned

from

the

canvas

(画布)

to

the

screen,

using

computers

to

find

new

waysofcreating

art.

In

the

late

1960s,

he

created

a

program

that

he

named

Aaron.

It

was

the

first

artificial

intelligencesoftware

in

the

world

of

fine

art,

and

Cohen

first

presented

Aaron

in

1974

at

the

University

of

California,

Berkeley.Aaron’s

work

has

since

graced

museums

from

the

Tate

Gallery

in

London

to

the

Sand

Francisco

Museum

ofModern

Art.Now,

with

AI

dominating

the

headlines,

a

new

exhibition

at

New

York’s

Whitney

Museumof

American

Art,“HaroldCohen:

running

through

June

2024,

draws

attention

to

seeded

Aaron

with

all

sorts

of

knowledge:

about

basic

objects,

physics,

and

fundamental

techniquesofdrawing.

Aaron

uses

this

knowledge

to

follow

instructions,

complete

tasks,

and

make

decisions

like

very

different

approach

from

today’s

generative

art

programs,

which

Versions

but

anything

doneafter

Cohen’sdeathin

not

considered

genuine.The

Whitney

is

showcasing

two

versions

of

Cohen’s

software,

along

with

the

art

that

each

produced

beforeCohen

died.

The

2001

version,

Aaron

and

projects

them

(进化)

can

perform

extraordinary

makeovers;

today’s

airborne

songbirds

evolved

fromthe

wingless,earthbounddinosaurs

that

wandered

millions

of

years

ago.

But

some

organisms

seem

to

be

unchanged—in

otherwords,escape

natural

selection.

The

coelacanth,

a

modern-day

fish,

is

nearly

identical

to

its410-million-year-oldfossils.Scientists

have

long

wondered

how

these

species

do

so.

It

has

been

assumed

that

natural

selection

keeps

somespecies

unchanged

by

selecting

for

moderate

or

average

qualities

(stabilizing

selection)

rather

than

selecting

formore

extreme

qualities

that

would

cause

a

species

to

change

(directional

selection).But

a

study

published

in

the

National

Academy

of

Sciences

USA

contradicts

this

idea,

showing

that

evolution

constantly

favors

different

qualities

in

seemingly

unchanging

animals

to

improve

short-term

survival.

In

the

longterm,

though,“all

that

evolution

cancels

out

and

leads

to

no

change,”

says

the

study’s

lead

author,

James

Stroud.Stroud

and

his

colleagues

studied

four

lizard

(蜥蜴)

species,

all

relatively

unchanged

for

20

million

years.Theresearchers

caught

members

of

these

populations

every

six

months

for

three

years.

They

measured

each

lizard’shead

size,

leg

length,

mass

and

height,

as

well

as

the

size

of

its

sticky

toes

(脚趾头),

noting

which

individualssurvived.Stroud

expected

to

observe

at

work

preserving

moderate

qualities.

Instead

he

sawclearerevidence

of

directional

selection:

some

lizards

with

unique

characteristics,

such

as

stickier

toes,

survivedbetter.The

study

offers“a

good

explanation

for

why

we

see

what

we

think

is

stabiliring

selection,”saysTadashiFukami,an

ecologist

studying

evolution

at

Stanford

University.

Many

new

qualities

are

evolving

in

the

short

term,butthey

don’t

provide

a

crucial

advantage

over

the

long

term.

In

other

words,
