This used to be downloadable on windows as a screensaver. Here is the gallery of images it made https://www.kurzweilcyberart.com/aaron/static.html

The windows screensaver itself can be found on Archive[1][2] and works fine on Windows 10.

The paintings it generates can not be exported as images directly if you didn't buy (which you can't now). Max you could do was take a screenshot. It creates up to 10 or 15 files describing the strokes though. I wrote a small JS tool which takes those files and redraws that paintings which you can then save/export with a click. https://github.com/SMUsamaShah/Kurzweil-CyberArt-AARON-Image...

Harold was a long time customer. It was amazing to us that he was able to do so much without being very classically technical. I think Common Lisp just hit the spot for him. We had a huge print in our office (like 8’ by 10’ ish).
