Description

Evolutionary Art and Computers describes the system that the mathematician Stephen Todd and the artist William Latham built at IBM’s UK Scientific Centre in Winchester, in which forms are bred on the computer and selected by the artist. Latham calls himself an “artist gardener” and says they make computer sculptures “using a parody of genetic engineering.” The software Mutator dates from 1987.
