Abstract

In this paper we investigate the applicability of Multi-Objective Optimization (MOO) in Evolutionary Art. We evolve images using an unsupervised evolutionary algorithm and we use two aesthetic measures as fitness functions concurrently. We use three different pairs from a set of three aesthetic measures and we compare the output of each pair to the output of other pairs, and to the output of experiments with a single aesthetic measure (non-MOO). We investigate 1) whether properties of aesthetic measures can be combined using MOO and 2) whether the use of MOO in evolutionary art results in different images, or perhaps "better" images.
