https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/cohen-before-the-event-t04856

Harold Cohen was a British artist who taught for many years in California at UC -- San Diego.

Growing out of his interest in what we would now call AI , he created AARON, a set of computer programmes for the autonomous creation of artistic images.

"Before the Event" long antedates AARON.
