| dc.description | From the faculty nominator, Mark McKibben: Adriane was a student in my Frontiers class "Godel, Escher, Bach: Three Geniuses and a Common Theme" in Fall 2004. The material for this class was extremely challenging, especially for first semester freshmen. However, both Adriane's contributions to class discussion and her written work were top-notch, and comparable in many ways to the work one would expect of a more advanced undergraduate student. This paper is no exception. I found the paper to be very well written. She interwove the main ideas of the course so nicely into the discussion of this topic that it was apparent that she took a substantial understanding of the material with her from the course. | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | I didn’t know what I was getting myself into when I registered for my Frontiers course, “Godel, Escher, Bach.” Our class, based on a book of the same name by Douglas Hofstadter, was largely math-based. As an Art History major, I was horrified. For my final project, I needed to find a topic my right-brain could more readily understand. The controversial issue of whether machines can make art was inspired by a PBS special called Scientific American Frontiers where host Alan Alda interviewed Harold Cohen, the creator of an artistic computer program called AARON. My paper chronicles the evolution of AARON in the context of whether computers should be considered creative. | en_US |
