A Visual Language for Darwin (Year 2010) PDF Inferences Show Both PDFs Whence is Creativity? (Year 2012) PDF
The main motivation for the research that allowed the creation of the works presented here was the development of a system for the evolution of visual languages. When applied to artistic domains the products of computational creativity systems tend to be individual artworks. In our approach search takes place at a higher level of abstraction, using a novel evolutionary engine we explore a space of context free grammars. Each point of the search space represents a family of shapes following the same production rules. In this exhibit we display instances of the vast set of shapes specified by one of the evolved grammars.
The shape will examine the some implications of this formulation.

The shape will start a critical examination of the traditional view of creativity in which the creator is the major player.

We start with a critical examination of the traditional view of creativity in which the creator is the major player. We analyze many different examples to point out that the origin of all different creativity scenarios is rooted in the viewer-artifact interaction. To recognize this explicitly, we propose an alternative formulation of creativity by putting the viewer in the driver's seat. We examine some implications of this formulation, especially for the role of computers in creativity, and argue that it captures the essence of creativity more accurately .
