Abstract

One of the general aims of evolutionary art research is to build a computer systems capable of creating interesting, beautiful or creative results, including images, videos, animations, text, and performances. In this context it is crucial to understand how fitness is conceived and implemented to explore the ‘interestingness’, beauty or creativity that the system is capable of. In this paper we survey the recent research on fitness for evolutionary art related to aesthetics. We also cover research in the psychology of aesthetics, including relation between complexity and aesthetics, measures of complexity and complexity predictors. We try to establish connections between human perception and understanding of aesthetics with current evolutionary techniques.
