Breeding Aesthetic Objects: Art and Artificial Evolution
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents an account of the work of visual artists applying artificial evolutionary techniques, addressing the implications of these techniques for artistic practice. It examines the forms of artistic or creative agency found within the field, the nature of the evolved aesthetic object, and the possible limits to this work.

Aesthetic Selection of Developmental Art Forms
Aesthetic selection has been employed in a system such that users can guide the evolution of art forms. The attributes of these forms are defined implicitly by an artificial genome, requiring a growth period to generate the final structure. During this growth phase, artificial chemicals react and diffuse across the surface of the developing structure, causing growth and other structural changes...
متن کاملSBArt4 – Breeding and Evolving Abstract Images and Animations
Some extensions of computational aesthetic measures are proposed for a domain of evolutionary art in order to be embedded in a simulated breeding system, SBArt. In our experiences of the combination of breeding and evolution, it is effective to reduce the time for producing interesting abstract images and animations.
متن کاملAesthetic Selection of Morphogenetic Art Forms
This paper describes a system designed for public use as an ‘edutainment’ system. It allows a user to direct the evolution of three-dimensional shapes as a form of interactive art. The objects under evolution are defined by artificial DNA, which ultimately defines their final form and characteristics through an intermediate growth phase using interacting chemical reactions. The forms are part o...
متن کاملKant and Hegel on Aesthetic Reflexivity
The paper aims at reevaluating a conception of the aesthetic that was developed by Kant and Hegel but that has been widely neglected due to the fact that their positions in aesthetics have been wrongly considered to be antagonistic to one another. The conception states that the aesthetic is a practice of reflecting on other human practices. Kant was the first to articulate this conception, but ...
متن کاملAesthetic Fitness and Artificial Evolution for the Selection of Imagery from the Mythical Infinite Library
Aesthetic selection and artificial evolution have been two of the more successful companions introduced to the toolbox of electronic image-makers in recent years. This paper examines the niche in which this technique, often associated with the simulation of biological processes, has positioned itself and some of the reasons for its success. Some remarks concerning the meaningfulness of a user’s...
