E-volved Formula #23 – Netherlands

E-volved Formula #23 was “cultivated” using evolutionary software. Mathematical elements are linked together into formulas and displayed. These visualizations are evaluated, and through a process of variation and selection, each new generation adapts better to the viewer’s taste. The collaboration between a breeding machine and a human “gardener” yields results that neither could create on its own. The machine has no sense of aesthetics; for humans, the complex formulas are incomprehensible.
