Using scalable vector graphics to evolve art

Using scalable vector graphics to evolve art textures'. When we take a wider view, and regard different artworks of centuries, it is evident that artists over centuries have experimented with art materials, layouts, subjects, techniques, etc. All this has resulted in a wide variety of visual output. If we project this observation onto the world of EvoArt, one could conclude that the field might benefit (in terms of variety of visual output) of new representations and new techniques. In this paper we want to add a new technique to the world of EvoArt; the use of scalable vector graphics or SVG and compare our new technique with an established technique (the use of symbolic expressions).

Abstract

textures'. When we take a wider view, and regard different artworks of centuries, it is evident that artists over centuries have experimented with art materials, layouts, subjects, techniques, etc. All this has resulted in a wide variety of visual output. If we project this observation onto the world of EvoArt, one could conclude that the field might benefit (in terms of variety of visual output) of new representations and new techniques. In this paper we want to add a new technique to the world of EvoArt; the use of scalable vector graphics or SVG and compare our new technique with an established technique (the use of symbolic expressions). SVG is a XML-based Markup Language for vector graphics, maintained by the World-Wide Web Consortium (W3C, 2005). Figure 1 A portfolio of eight images evolved using symbolic expressions (see online version for colours) Source: From den Heijer and Eiben (2010a, 2010b, 2011a) and den Heijer (2012) Many existing EvoArt system use the so-called `raster paradigm' that was pioneered by Sims (1991).
