“…For subjective application areas in the arts, a wider variety of fitness drivers has been used. In two earlier papers (Johnson, 2012b(Johnson, , 2016, I outlined a taxonomy of fitness measures used in search-based (primarily evolutionary) art systems, based on a survey of many papers describing such systems. A major dimension of that taxonomy was the kind of fitness used-the fitness basis.…”

Why do people exhibit particular behaviour towards a class of objects called artworks? That is the topic of study in aesthetics. This paper explores how various theories of aesthetics can be interpreted in the context of artworks generated by artificial intelligence systems, in particular those that are grounded in the idea of search as a means of implementing intelligence computationally. A number of aesthetic theories are explored, including ideas of imitation, skill, form, expression, imagination, and focus. The paper concludes by highlighting a number of areas that, in light of these considerations, have been neglected by the makers of computer art systems and which provide future opportunities in this area.

Abstract. This paper discusses issues in evolutionary art related to Art Theory and Aesthetics with a view to better understanding how they might contribute to both research and practice. Aesthetics is a term often used in evolutionary art, but is regularly used with conflicting or naïve understandings. A selective history of evolutionary art as art is provided, with an examination of some art theories from within the field. A brief review of aesthetics as studied in philosophy and art theory follows. It is proposed that evolutionary art needs to resolve some important conflicts and be clearer about what what it means by terms like "art" and "aesthetics". Finally some possibilities for how to resolve these conflicts are described.

“…As an example, one large category of such systems are the evolutionary systems, where the search heuristic is an evolutionary algorithm (see the overview in [21]). In the vast majority of such systems (see [22] for a detailed enumeration) the space being explored is the space of complete works.…”
