XYZ: Virtual Connections.
The Unplugged Evolutionary Algorithm has been applied for the second time -first one shown at IEEE CEC 2013, Cancún,
to produce the collective work displayed. The team of six artists have produced six works per week -generation- by
selecting and crossing over art-works that act as parents every week. Selection, crossover, mutation, elitism...
are concepts whose meaning is translated by artists to every painting produced.
Three generations have been selected for display, that include eighteen works produced during the first three
weeks of the experiment.
