one work from Cohen’s “At the Tate” series that was produced onsite during Cohen’s exhibition at the Tate in the summer of 1983. The drawings were made in real time by four custom robotic drawing machines in the galleries with articulating a crossbeam with an attached felt pen each using Cohen’s custom made software, AARON, to create the drawings. These machines ran continuously throughout the exhibition, churning out new pieces in about twenty minutes each.
