Interactive evolution of ant paintings
Sébastien Aupetit, V. Boirdeau, Nicolas Monmarché, Mohamed Slimane, Gilles Venturini · 2004
We present how we use an interactive genetic algorithm to find the best parameters to build an artificial art work according to user's aesthetic taste. Ants are used to spread colors on a numerical painting and behave with very simple rules to follow and deposit colors. These rules and colors are considered as parameters for the evolutionary process. This work can be considered as a contribution to naturally inspired artificial art and evolutionary techniques are used to help artists in their creative process.
