When artists met EvoSpace-i

This paper presents a new step towards a hard goal: establishing a stronger collaboration between the art world and the field of Evolutionary Algorithms, so that both can benefit. Two were the main reasons for pursuing this goal: on the one hand the aim of studying human creative processes that may allow in the future improving computer based creativity; on the other hand we wanted to both improve available software tools and also propose a methodology allowing artists to develop collective evolutionary based artistic experiences. This paper focuses in the second goal, and shows a new addition to EvoSpace-i software tool, as well as to the methodology applied, and how it was employed by a team of artists when creating a new collective artwork.
