Abstract
In a similar mechanism as the huge variations of complex organisms appeared and disappeared on the earth through the evolutionary process for billions of years, it is possible to organize a process of non- stop development in the computer to produce unpredictable complex patterns, utilizing a technique of evolutionary computation. This visually interactive installation is one of the extended variations of author’s previous work entitled fully automated evolutionary art [1]. It continuously produces abstract images and animations by a type of evolutionary computation based on a minimum gap of generational changes and combination of computational aesthetic measures as the fitness criteria. It was purely autonomous without any effect from the outside, the author extended it using Kinect® camera to embed the visitors’ figure in the visual output. The information captured by the camera does not affect to the evolutionary process, but it changes the audio output because the process of sound synthesis is based on the features extracted from the visual output [2].
This is the shallowest connection between the production process and the action of visitors, but it’s more enjoyable than the oneway effect where the visitors are just observing the production. And, it is the start point toward deeper interaction and mixture between the life in the machine and the life in the nature.
