Evolving Art using Aesthetic Analogies - Evolutionary Supervised Learning to Generate Art with Grammatical Evolution

Abstract

In this paper we describe an evolutionary approach using models of human aesthetic experience to evolve expressions capable of generating real-time aesthetic analogies between two different artistic domains. We outline a conceptual structure used to define aesthetic analogies and guide the collection of empirical data used to build aesthetic models. We also present a Grammatical Evolution based system making use of aesthetic models with a heuristic based fitness calculation approach to evaluate evolved expressions. We demonstrate a working model that has been designed to implement this system and use the evolved expressions to generate real-time aesthetic analogies with input music and output visuals. With this system we can generate novel artistic visual displays, similar to a light show at a music concert, which can react to the musician's performance in real-time.
